AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating table fan dating from the mid-20th century (c. 1950-1960), a perfect example of Italian industrial design from the Space Age period.
The piece stands out for its essential and dynamic aesthetics, combining technical materials and aerodynamic lines typical of the era.
Main features:
Design: Minimalist structure with a continuous-support base in chromed metal, giving visual lightness and stability.
Materials: Motor housing and blades made of plastic material (probably Bakelite or ABS) in a classic pastel blue shade, typical of mid-century modern design.
Protective cage: Metal safety grille with concentric rings, typical of models produced by historic brands such as S&P Milano or Olimpic.
Aesthetic condition: The item is in good vintage condition. It shows a natural patina of time that authenticates its originality (small marks on the chrome plating and on the plastic body as visible in the photo).
Operation: Equipped with original cord and plug. [Note: It is advisable to specify whether it is functioning or sold as a decorative object/to be refurbished].
An iconic piece, ideal for mid-century collectors or to add a retro-chic touch to a design office or living room.
Indicative dimensions:
Height: approx. 25-30 cm
Grille diameter: approx. 20 cm
