Foggy Elliptical, a mirror inspired by the quiet mystery of fog

Vanità Living

Foggy Elliptical was inspired by the nature of fog: how light passing through it softens and deepens, creating a magical effect. Studio Adolini translated this atmospheric phenomenon into a tactile, everyday object. The elliptical shape adds visual movement and tension, while Vanità’s patented Foggy and GHOST mirror technologies generate an immersive inner glow. Available in two sizes and designed for both vertical and horizontal hanging, the mirror balances functional and emotional light.

Entryway scene with Foggy Elliptical, vertical mount, size 180×90 cm. Natural light blends with the mirror’s soft presence, adding depth and elegance to transitional spaces

Though designed for interiors, Foggy Elliptical dialogues with its architectural context through light and form. Its soft, adjustable TripleWhite lighting (3000K, 4000K, 6000K) enriches ambience without overpowering it, fitting both residential and hospitality spaces. The mirror’s elliptical silhouette offers a sculptural contrast to rectilinear architecture, becoming a visual anchor. Its ability to hang vertically or horizontally enhances adaptability to diverse environments.

Foggy Elliptical integrates Vanità’s patented Foggy and GHOST mirror technologies, offering a dual identity: atmospheric glow when lit and flawless reflection when off. It’s energy-efficient and 100% recyclable, including its aluminum frame. Unlike traditional mirrors, it does not use metallic silvering: the reflective glass is silvering-free, cannot oxidize, and offers greater durability. Made of 5 mm safety glass with a shatter-preventing film, each mirror undergoes rigorous testing. Packaging is entirely plastic-free. The gentle, glare-free dimmable light suits users with light sensitivity.

Pairing of Foggy Elliptical mirrors in cool light, both size 90×60 cm, vertically mounted. A balanced composition ideal for residential or hospitality environments

Foggy Elliptical redefines the mirror as a hybrid between technology, sculpture, and light. Designed by Studio Adolini, it blends functional clarity with sensory presence.
Its elliptical form conveys elegance and softness, while its light effect, a fog-like glow appearing beneath the reflective surface, gives the product a distinctive identity.
Two proprietary technologies make this effect possible: Foggy, which gives the light its atmospheric depth, and GHOST mirror, which hides all lighting when switched off, restoring a pristine, uninterrupted reflection.
Available in two sizes (90×60 cm and 180×90 cm) and suitable for both vertical and horizontal installation, Foggy Elliptical adapts easily to different spatial compositions.
The light is based on TripleWhite LED technology (3000K, 4000K, 6000K) and is fully dimmable, offering versatile and user-friendly lighting performance.
Instead of traditional mirror glass with metallic silvering, it features a silvering-free reflective surface that cannot oxidize and is fully recyclable.
The mirror resists corrosion and aging, and includes a 5 mm thick safety glass with a protective anti-shatter film. All models undergo rigorous stability testing.
More than a mirror, Foggy Elliptical is a designed experience: it transforms the act of seeing into something tactile, warm, and deeply spatial.

Initial concept sketch by Studio Adolini: translating the essence of fog into light, material, and form
Foggy Elliptical transforms a mirror into a soft, immersive landscape where light behaves like fog, turning function into experience. Its adaptable sizes, orientation options, and dimmable TripleWhite lighting make it both versatile and poetic, a daily encounter with light’s gentle magic.
