Description from the seller
Stylish Space Age bowl on a stand, rendered in bright red with a polished interior, presumably stainless steel (RVS). A real eye-catcher from the 60s/70s, where futuristic design and functional form come together.
The bowl features the characteristic tulip-shaped base that recalls the designs of Eero Saarinen and Luigi Colani. The combination of a matte red exterior with shiny metal gives the piece an elegant contrast and a distinctly retro look.
Ideal as a fruit bowl, design object, or decorative centerpiece on a sideboard or coffee table. The bowl is in beautiful vintage condition with small signs of wear, appropriate to its age.
