Sunburst Mirror W. Friedle Circa 1970

Brutalist wall mirror. "Sunburst" by William Friedle - United States, circa 1970. Sculptural and deeply graphic, this spectacular wall mirror signed by William Friedle perfectly embodies the American brutalist aesthetic of the 1970s. Made of metal and brass, this "Sunburst" model stands out with its composition of three levels of metallic rays, creating a particularly striking play of depth and light. His meticulous work around material and textures gives this piece a strong architectural presence while maintaining a timeless elegance. The contrast between the dark patina of the metal and the warm reflections of the brass adds a lot of character and a true decorative dimension. Both a mirror and a wall artwork, this iconic piece will fit perfectly in a contemporary, modernist, wabi-sabi interior, or in a decor inspired by gallery and collector universes. A rare and highly desirable piece, ideal above a sofa, a fireplace, or in a refined entrance. Designer: William Friedle. Origin: United States. Period: circa 1970.
