AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The subject of the auction is the ice bucket “Stella,” an iconic functional object designed by Paolo Tilche and manufactured by the Italian company Guzzini. This model represents an outstanding example of Space Age / Mid-Century Modern aesthetics, characteristic of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The offered piece is made of durable white, high-gloss melamine. The ice container consists of two perfectly fitting hemispheres which, when closed, form a flawless sphere with a diameter of about 20 cm and an overall height of 20 cm. When unfolded, the elements can function as two independent, minimalist bowls. The material—melamine—is resistant to minor scratches and easy to maintain, which allows the ice container to also serve as an impressive bowl or display object.
This is an excellent option for collectors and enthusiasts of 70s design, seeking an authentic ice container with a sculptural, futuristic form, designed by a renowned designer.
