An electrochromic device includes a stack successively including: a first current collector, an electrochromic electrode made of a material capable of reversibly inserting metal ions, an electrolyte, a second current collector, a reflective substrate contacting the first current collector or with the second current collector. It includes a single electrochromic electrode and has at least the two following functional states: a first absorbing functional state, induced by the application of a first electric voltage between the two current collectors, wherein the device includes metal ions reversibly inserted into the material of the electrochromic electrode; and a second reflective functional state subsequent to the application of a second electric voltage between the two current collectors, wherein a metal layer is formed between the electrolyte and the second current collector, this metal layer including at least part of the metal ions initially reversibly inserted into the material of the electrochromic electrode.
