Description from the seller

Lot of 3 Samos Enzo Mari Driade Kosmo Porcelain Centerpieces 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 devoted his life to a thought of design as a political and humanist act — functional, honest, accessible and timeless. The Samos series perfectly illustrates this approach: clean geometric shapes, undecorated porcelain of absolute sobriety, straddling the line between everyday object and collectible piece. The Samos series is also part of MoMA's permanent collection in New York. Objects that age wonderfully and never go out of style.

Lot of 3 items in good overall condition, light signs of use, no breakages.

Characteristics:

- Model: Samos
- Designer: Enzo Mari
- Publisher: Driade Kosmo
- Project: 1973
- Dimensions: Ø 33.5 cm × H 7 cm
- Material: Unglazed porcelain
- Sold as a lot of 3

Condition:

- Good overall condition
- Light signs of use
- No chips
- micro-crack under one
