Product description
Authentic Ettore Sottsass 'Mela' Ice Bucket for Rinnovel, Italy 1950s. This brass 'Apple' ice bucket by the famous Italian Designer Ettore Sottsass transforms a utilitarian object into a whimsical conversation piece. This sculptural apple-shaped item is executed in gilded aluminium, with a domed lid and stylised stem handle, the design combines playful symbolism with refined material contrast. The interior retains its original removable perforated insert.
Its form remains minimal and elegant, while the subtly playful form and polished surface showcase Sottsass's signature. This object also exemplifies his early approach to domestic design: functional yet expressive, bridging modernism and the emerging postmodern sensibility. It's in good vintage condition with some visible traces of use. Dimensions: Height 18 Diameter 14 cm.
