AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Bring the myth and legend of Italian design directly into your spaces.
If you love the timeless charm of La Dolce Vita and you’re looking for a piece of furniture that can instantly catch the eye, this handmade metal sculpture is the detail your home or studio is missing.
Made and hand-painted with a vintage lived-in finish, it faithfully reproduces the timeless lines of the world’s most famous scooter, enriched with realistic details such as the kickstand, the rear rack with spare wheel, and dedicated rear-view mirrors.
It’s not just a trinket, but a decorative craftwork that expresses character, a passion for engines, and retro style. Perfect on an industrial bookshelf, on a sideboard, or as a centerpiece in a creative office, it brings warmth and personality to any environment. Treat yourself or gift an icon of style that will never go unnoticed.
The model is directly inspired by the legendary industrial design of the Vespa Piaggio, the Italian design icon born in the postwar period (1946) from the project of aeronautical engineer Corradino D’Ascanio.
Made by master artisans specialized in metalworking and the artistic recycling of metal (hand-shaped and welded sheet metal), this kind of object celebrates the aesthetics of mid-century modern and contemporary pop design.
Dimensions 10x17x5 cm
Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
