A rattan mid century Italian mirror attributed to Franco Albini. Circular mirror with a rattan frame in a squiggle like form. Sourced in Northern Italy.
Franco Albini (1905–1977) was a pioneering Italian architect, designer, and urban planner, known for blending modernist ideals with traditional Italian craftsmanship. After studying at the Politecnico di Milano, Albini began his career in the 1930s, becoming a key figure in the Rationalist movement. His work was characterized by clean lines, minimalist forms, and a deep focus on functionality and materials.
Albini designed iconic furniture pieces such as the Luisa chair (1955) and the Veliero bookcase (1940), which showcased his innovative structural solutions. His designs often collaborated with companies like Cassina and Arteluce. Albini also played a significant role in urban planning and architecture, contributing to projects like the Milan Metro and museum designs, including the renovation of the Palazzo Rosso in Genoa. He received numerous accolades, including multiple Compasso d’Oro awards, cementing his legacy as a master of modern Italian design. less
