Milo XL Mirror: Carlo Mollino’s Icon Takes on a New Dimension

Designed in 1938 by Carlo Mollino, Milo is one of the Italian designer’s most recognizable creations. Its silhouette echoes the curves of the Venus de Milo, making the Mirror a truly graphic and sculptural object. With this XL version measuring L 54 x H 101.5 cm, Zanotta gives this historic design a new dimension without altering its identity. More than just a reflective surface, the Milo XL adorns the wall with a presence that is at once sensual, light, and decidedly unique.

Beauty According to Carlo Mollino

Milo was originally created for the Casa Miller, an experimental interior designed by Carlo Mollino in Turin in 1938. In this project, architecture, furniture, and objects are all part of the same universe. Milo CM and Carlino CM embody a highly personal conception of beauty, characterized by soft, elegant, and sinuous lines.

The reference to the Venus de Milo gives the mirror its instantly recognizable design. The outline of the glass suggests a human silhouette without ever becoming figurative in the literal sense. This tension between abstraction and sensuality largely explains Milo’s visual impact and its ability to transcend the mirror’s basic function.

What does the XL size of the Milo Mirror offer?

The XL size enhances Milo’s decorative impact. Measuring 54 cm wide and 101.5 cm tall, it makes a more striking statement on the wall than the classic 43 x 81 cm version. It nevertheless retains the same slender proportions and distinctive silhouette. Zanotta introduced this new XL version in 2026.

Where should you hang the Milo XL mirror?

Thanks to its vertical format, the Milo XL can be placed in an entryway, bedroom, dressing room, or living room. Its dimensions allow it to fill a section of wall with greater impact, while remaining narrow enough to fit into more confined spaces. When hung alone, it can serve as a true focal point of decoration.

What is the Milo XL mirror made of?

The Milo XL is made of mirror glass and features a stainless steel mounting bracket for wall mounting. The simplicity of its construction allows the cutout design—an essential element of its identity—to take center stage.

Is the Milo XL mirror an official Carlo Mollino edition?

Yes. The intellectual property rights to Carlo Mollino’s works, drawings, and documents belong to the Italian government. Zanotta produces Milo under an exclusive license granted by the Agenzia del Demanio, guaranteeing the official status of this edition.

With its enlarged format, Milo XL further accentuates the sculptural dimension of Carlo Mollino’s design. An iconic piece of Italian design that transforms the Mirror into an artistic presence, blending curves, reflections, and sensuality.
