Description from the seller

Set of 3 Samos Centerpieces Enzo Mari Driade Kosmo Porcelain Italian Design Collector

Selling a set of 3 centerpiece bowls, model Samos, designed by the great master of Italian design Enzo Mari and published by Driade in its Kosmo collection, project of 1973.

A major and radical figure of 20th-century design, Enzo Mari dedicated his life to a philosophy of design as a political and humanist act — functional, honest, accessible, and timeless. The Samos series perfectly illustrates this approach: clean geometric shapes, unglazed porcelain with absolute simplicity, straddling the line between everyday object and collectible piece. The Samos series is even part of MoMA's permanent collection in New York. Objects that age admirably and never go out of fashion.

Set of 3 pieces in good overall condition, light signs of use, no breakage.
