Description from the seller

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

Selling a lot 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 in 20th-century design, Enzo Mari devoted 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: pure geometric shapes, unglazed porcelain with absolute sobriety, straddling the line between a daily object and a collectible piece. The Samos series even features in MoMA's permanent collection in New York. Objects that age admirably and never go out of style.

Lot of 3 pieces in good overall condition, light signs of wear, no breakage.
