A quintessential example of Italian 1970s functional design, this round vanity box by Makio Hasuike for Gedy embodies the sleek futurism and minimalist utility of the space-age era. The circular form opens to reveal a tri-compartment interior beneath a hinged mirror, ideal for jewelry or cosmetics. Crafted from glossy white ABS plastic, the piece showcases Hasuike’s signature blend of sculptural simplicity and everyday practicality—hallmarks of the Italian modern aesthetic.
Context and Legacy
Makio Hasuike, a Japanese-born designer based in Milan, was one of the pioneers of industrial design in Italy. His collaborations with Gedy, a company renowned for its innovative bathroom and vanity accessories, helped redefine modern domestic design in the 1960s and 1970s. Hasuike’s creations for Gedy—practical yet elegant—reflect a fascination with modularity and circular geometry, anticipating the clean lines and bold forms of contemporary minimalism.
