Description of the work:

Splendid and iconic pair of thermal carafes (Thermos) model "Papillon", designed by the renowned designer Furio Minuti for Fratelli Guzzini at the end of the 1980s. The set comprises the unmistakable version in bright red and the version in pure white, both characterized by the distinctive glossy black sphere cap and the avant-garde postmodern design.

Note of authenticity: The red carafe bears the Guzzini mark impressed on the body; the white carafe is free of the logo printed on the outer body, a production variant common in original lots of that period (where branding varied or was entrusted to removable adhesive labels). The geometric shape, the materials, the iconic bridge handle and the internal components confirm the absolute originality and contemporaneity of both pieces. A perfectly coordinated set for lovers of Italian design and mid-century design.
