Italian 'Lady Placidia' Marble Wall Mirror by Nanda Vigo for Glas Italia, 1992
A rare example of Nanda Vigo’s exploration of marble’s expressive potential, the ‘Lady Placidia’ mirror was designed in 1992 and produced by Glas Italia in a limited edition of just 21 pieces. Its circular frame, crafted from solid Carrara marble, is inlaid with a Cosmati-style mosaic, creating a delicate yet rhythmic interplay of color and geometry around the reflective center.
In this work, as in select pieces throughout her career, the Milanese designer redefines marble—not as a rigid, monumental material, but as a fluid, dynamic element seamlessly integrated into the domestic landscape through sculptural, livable objects.
Nanda Vigo (1936–2020) was an Italian artist, designer, and architect who pioneered a number of innovative techniques within modern and contemporary art. Her more recent designs have focused on sensory impulses, utilizing materials such as glass, mirrors, and neon lights. Throughout her career, Vigo collaborated with many famous Italian designers and artists including Gio Ponti, Lucio Fontana, and Piero Manzoni; she is also featured in multiple iterations of the Triennale di Milano, as well as the Venice Biennale.
