Description
Oval Mirror with Wooden Frame, Rattan, and Bamboo – Vivai del Sud Manufacture, Italian Production, 1970s
The unmistakable style of Vivai del Sud blends exotic allure, domestic charm, and luxurious refinement, a signature that every piece associated with the Italian brand conveys at first glance. In this mirror, small sections of rattan are meticulously embedded into the frame, creating a dynamic, elegant texture of notable sophistication, reminiscent of the gentle undulations of ocean waves. These same waves lap at tropical shores where bamboo, rattan, and malacca thrive—natural materials integral to Vivai del Sud’s production.
A hallmark of Italian excellence, this Roman brand became, during the 1970s and 1980s, synonymous with a relaxed, joyful approach to luxury that defined a decade and continues to evoke contemporary nostalgia. By reimagining rattan furniture—traditionally reserved for gardens—as a feature of interior design, Vivai del Sud not only shaped a trend but also championed a lifestyle.
The presented mirror is paired with a matching small chest of drawers. Both pieces are in excellent condition, completely original in every part. Placing this mirror within a contemporary setting perpetuates the dialogue between indoor and outdoor spaces, tropical inspirations, and urban tensions—an aesthetic interplay that Vivai del Sud brilliantly captured through its significant production.
