Manufacturer: Guzzini, Recanati, Italy

Domestic mechanical kitchen scale with integrated bowl, model “Dolly.” The conical base in mint-green thermoplastic is paired with a transparent flared bowl and spherical top detail, forming a cohesive sculptural silhouette.

The design reflects the Italian postmodern approach of the 1980s, where functional kitchen tools were developed with strong geometric identity and color emphasis. The conical volume and integrated bowl construction are characteristic of Guzzini’s experimentation with molded plastics during this period.
