Standard S.P.A - Thermos flask - Plastic, Copper - Workshop Pantry Door

This splendid lunch thermos is not just a container, but a true fragment of the history of Italian industrial design from the 1970s. With its clean, geometric lines and the iconic chromatic contrast between the optical white of the lid and the vibrant, pop red of the body, this object perfectly embodies the lively, optimistic aesthetics of a golden era.

THE CRAFT OF MADE IN ITALY

What makes this piece unique is its identity card, proudly stamped on the bottom. Entirely produced in Italy, it was born in the heart of Lombardy’s manufacturing hub, in Cusano Milanino, on the outskirts of Milan. In those years, the town was a real engine of excellence manufacturing, where artisanal ingenuity met the precision of big industry.

Every detail was designed and printed by the historic Officine Standard S.p.A., a name that for generations of Italians has been synonymous with reliability, weekend getaways, camping trips, and, above all, lunch breaks on the job.

FROM THE WORKSHOP TO everyday LIFE

The sturdiness and practicality of the high-thickness rigid plastic frame evoke its true spirit: an object born to last, conceived to withstand workshop life, construction sites, and long shifts, yet so beautiful and functional that it became a classic for Sunday family picnics.

The characteristic pass-through handle, integrated directly into the large screw-on cap, is a masterpiece of ergonomics of another era, designed to be gripped firmly even with work gloves. Inside, the thermal technology of the time guaranteed perfect preservation of hot, hearty lunches, bringing the warmth of home directly to places of toil and progress.

Today, this thermos has surpassed its original function and transformed into an irresistible collectible, a perfect vintage decorative piece capable of imparting a touch of warm nostalgia and modernist style to any environment. A true tribute to Italy that built the future with beauty and concreteness.
