Price History
Description
One of Gio Ponti’s signature designs is the Randaccio Mirror from 1925. Designed for his own home on Via Randaccio in Milano, his very first architectural project, the Randaccio Mirror decorated the walls in his bedroom on the 3rd floor together with other furniture designed for the apartment. The Randaccio Mirror unites elegance with simplicity and is characterised by its atypical crown-like detailing on the top, a detail used by Ponti in several of his works within design and art.
Our Stylist Says
I love this round wall mirror for its clean, modern look with a touch of vintage charm thanks to the antique brass finish. It works beautifully in a range of interiors, from contemporary to more eclectic styles, adding a subtle warmth and sophistication. For practical styling tips, consider placing it in an entryway to create an inviting focal point, or use it above a console table or in a bathroom to enhance light and make small spaces feel larger. Its 60cm size makes it versatile-big enough to make an impact without overwhelming the space. Pair it with other brass accents or textured elements for a cohesive look.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
