Sunburst Mirror with Perforated Edge | Patinated Metal | 1950s/60s Design
Modernism and Transparency
A rare, graphic design defines this sunburst mirror, which plays on lightness and transparency. The perforated metal edge creates a subtle interplay of light and shadow on the wall, reminiscent of the mid-century modern aesthetic of Mathieu Matégot. Its curved profile lends a mysterious depth, a characteristic often associated with witch mirrors.

Studio Cinquante’s Perspective
This model is a personal favorite because of its airy feel. The perforated metal softens the classic sunburst silhouette and places it in a more modernist register. It is the ideal mirror for creating a sophisticated wall display alongside other drawings or photography.
