Rodolfo Bonetto “Unghia” Mirror — the Iconic Lipstick-Shaped Space-Age Design

Offered here is an original “Unghia” floor mirror by Rodolfo Bonetto, also known as the “Lipstick Mirror.” Designed in the late 1960s, it stands as one of the most distinctive and sculptural pieces of Italian space-age design.

Made from plastic and glass, the mirror features a tall cylindrical body with an elongated oval opening that reveals the reflective surface inside — a form reminiscent of a lipstick tube, which gives the piece its nickname. Its clean, aerodynamic silhouette perfectly embodies the futuristic aesthetics of the era.

Lightweight yet visually striking, the “Unghia” mirror functions both as a practical everyday object and a bold decorative statement.

This is a collectible and increasingly rare design icon, especially hard to find in such beautiful condition.

A perfect fit for modern, minimal, mid-century or eclectic interiors seeking a strong sculptural accent and an authentic touch of Italian design history.
