AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Lot of 3 Samos Enzo Mari Driade Kosmo Porcelain Italian Design Centerpiece Bowls Collector
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 design in the 20th century, Enzo Mari devoted his life to a conception of design as a political and humanist act — functional, honest, accessible and timeless. The Samos series perfectly illustrates this approach: pure geometric shapes, undecorated porcelain with an absolute sobriety, straddling the line between everyday object and collectible piece. The Samos series is also part of the MoMA’s permanent collection in New York. Objects that age admirably and never go out of style.
Set of 3 pieces in good overall condition, light signs of use, no breaks.
