Terraillon - Richard Sapper - Balance or scale - 4000 - Plastic, Metal

Splendid Terraillon tabletop scale, model 4000, designed by the famous Italian designer Richard Sapper. It is an absolute icon of 1970s design, perfectly embodying the space-age style of that decade with its rounded plastic shapes and the iconic orange pop color of the era, now back in fashion and trending today. Maximum capacity: it allows weighing food up to 4 kilograms. Clever design with two bowls, one in smoked plexiglass, which when flipped over serve as the weighing vessel and as a protective lid for compact storage. Fully mechanical balance equipped with a knob for manually taring. It is in perfect working order and in an almost like-new condition, with only a few minor micro-scratches to note, no missing parts or cracks; this scale has barely ever been used and now comes back to remind us that objects of the past were beautiful and brightened our interiors.
