Memphis Ionian table mirror

Ionian by Memphis Milan, in 1985, Michele De Lucchi created a table mirror for Donna magazine as a special Christmas gift, a design that would later inspire the iconic Memphis collections. Among these, Ionian stands out as one of the designer's most emblematic and innovative mirrors. Ionian is a table mirror characterised by a bold, geometric design, typical of the Memphis spirit. The structure is made of varnished wood in bright, contrasting colours that play with simple yet visually striking shapes. The square mirror is mounted on a circular support, creating an eye-catching play of overlaps and volumes. The mirror is fixed on a hinge that allows it to rotate freely, thus adapting to different needs and angles of use. The base of Ionian is round and bright orange, a strong chromatic reference that contrasts with the green profile of the mirror, amplifying the decorative and sculptural effect of the object. Ionian is not just a mirror, but a true piece of functional art that embodies the postmodern aesthetics of Memphis, capable of transforming a simple everyday object into a distinctive and original design element.
