AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fascinating and iconic mechanical Terraillon kitchen scale, model 4000 / BA-22, a true manifesto of 1970s Space Age design. Designed by the renowned Italian designer Marco Zanuso, this scale represents the perfect blend of futuristic aesthetics and everyday functionality, so much so that it has been exhibited in prestigious design museums. The object stands out for its square ABS plastic shell in a vivid glossy red, typical of the era. The top black and red lid is cleverly designed: when flipped, it instantly transforms into a convenient weighing bowl. The circular analog dial, with white geometric graphics on a black background and a red hand, guarantees a clear and immediate reading.
