Italian Brutalist Bronze Wall Mirror by Luciano Frigerio, 1970s


An Italian wall mirror by Luciano Frigerio, cast in bronze during the 1970s. The rectangular frame is sculpted in Frigerio’s signature relief—an interplay of textured bronze fields and grid-like segments. Each section is cast with irregularities, from pebble-like clusters to chiseled bands, creating a surface that shifts subtly with the light.

Whether anchoring an entryway, accenting a bedroom, or hung above a console, it carries the spirit of Italian Brutalist design.

Luciano Frigerio was an Italian designer, artist, and musician born in Desio, Lombardy. His father, Giovanni, established a small cabinet-making workshop in the town in 1889. Over the years, the workshop developed collaborations with renowned Italian architects and designers, including Franco Albini, Sergio Asti, and later Paolo Portoghesi.

Frigerio believed that architects could design furniture with the craftsmanship of cabinetmakers, rather than relying solely on mass industrial production. This philosophy eventually led the company to open ten showrooms in major Italian cities, including one on Via Montenapoleone in Milan.
