Description from the seller
Vintage Ippo Lines and Lines Huggies pair – Armando Testa design
For true collectors and lovers of mid-century modernism and Italian vintage advertising, we offer a splendid pairing of the iconic blue hippopotamus conceived by the genius of Armando Testa.
The lot includes two original pieces in their unmistakable blue color, both with an authentic brand mark stamped under the paw and without a box:
* Ippo Lines (Large Version):
* Dimensions: 17 cm high x 30 cm wide x 14 cm deep
* Weight: 800 g
* Ippo Lines Huggies (Small Version):
* Dimensions: 8.5 cm high x 16 cm wide x 7 cm deep
* Weight: 300 g
* Historical notes: A very rare collectible dating from the late 1980s (1984-1988). The presence of the Huggies trademark testifies to the period's corporate agreement between Kimberly-Clark and Fater, during which the famous diapers and related gadgets were marketed under the double Lines Huggies brand.
Conditions: Both pieces are generally in good condition with small and natural signs of wear visible in the photos, evidencing their age and authenticity.
A unique opportunity to enrich your collection with two historical testimonies of Italian advertising design!
