Description from the seller

Iconic Vintage Kartell Wastepaper Basket – Italian Designer Masterpiece

Splendid and timeless vintage wastepaper basket manufactured by Kartell, an undisputed pillar of international industrial design and Space Age collectibles. Characterized by its clean, elegant, oval geometric silhouette, this piece stands as a true cult object for 20th-century interior design enthusiasts, making it the perfect addition to upscale professional studios, offices, or sophisticated home environments.

The item's authenticity and historical provenance are verified by the original brand signature embossed on the bottom: "Kartell made in Italy".

LOT TECHNICAL DETAILS:

* Manufacturer: Kartell
* Origin: Italy (Noviglio, Milan)
* Period / Era: Vintage (1970s / 1980s)
* Material: High-gloss injection-molded plastic
* Color: Glossy black

ITEM CONDITION:
The item is in good vintage structural condition, fully preserving its undeniable aesthetic appeal. As a genuine period piece that has been used, the glossy black surface displays light and normal signs of wear, such as fine surface cleaning scratches. Furthermore, two small, thin hairline cracks are present near the upper rim; however, due to the object's deep black coloration and their specific placement, they remain virtually imperceptible at first glance and do not affect the overall visual impact or structural integrity in any way. (Please review the photo gallery carefully, as it serves as an integral part of this description).

An unmissable opportunity to acquire a piece of history from Italian "Made in Italy" design!
