Designed and produced by Fiarm in Italy in 1964, this rectangular wall mirror exemplifies the measured elegance of mid-century Italian interiors. The composition orchestrates contrasting materials—teak, wool cloth and glass—into a quietly architectural whole, reinforcing the period’s attention to refined craftsmanship and modular clarity. As seen in the accompanying photographs, the mirror presents three aligned square panels set within an olive-green field.
The inner frame is upholstered in wool cloth whose matte surface softens the crisp geometry of the glass, while a second, thin teak perimeter articulates the overall outline. Square wooden clamps punctuate the junctions, lending both structural logic and rhythmic detail. The warm teak grain and the olive tone of the cloth create a balanced dialogue of color and texture.
Produced in 1964, the piece reflects the era’s interest in serial composition and honest joinery. The mirror is preserved in excellent vintage condition: the cloth remains uniform with no tears or stains, and the wood shows a warm, even patina consistent with age. The generous height (130 cm) enhances its architectural presence while remaining practical for domestic settings.
A sophisticated yet understated statement piece, this Fiarm mirror brings clarity and material richness to residential or gallery contexts. It represents a thoughtful synthesis of structure, surface, and proportion—qualities that continue to define collectible Italian design of the 1960s. A remarkable example of Italian design merging functional intelligence and aesthetic refinement.
