The Cyclope mirror, designed by young French designer Ionna Vautrin, gets its name from the convex mirrors, (which in French are called ‘witches' eyes) - Vautrin takes this magical object and perches it atop a soft cone crafted from clay, creating a table-top mirror with a distinctly sculptural feel, evoking the mysterious monolithic statues of far-off primitive cultures or the minimal eloquence of sculptors like Brancusi and Moore.

Le Cyclope Ardent is coated in a lustrous hi-gloss metallic finish, 3 different metals chosen for their evocative richness, luster and sophistication: opulent gold, elegant platinum and warm, alluring copper.


Like a sculpture for the home, Le Cyclope Ardent sits atop any table or desk and gazes out at the world around it, offering users a glimpse into a strange and intriguing vision of the world.

The use of soft, simple geometric shapes lend a sense of relaxed elegance and fun to works by the young designer, who in the space of a few short years has come to be one of the ‘ones to watch’ within the international product and furniture design community.

100% Made in Italy, Le Cyclope Ardent is hand finished by master craftsmen and available exclusively on yoox.com
