Krups - Krups - Slicer - Type 370B - Aluminium, Plastic, Steel

Beautiful portable and foldable slicer model "370" produced in the 60s-70s by the German company Krups.

Composed of yellow and white ABS plastic shells that hide the internal engine. The plate that regulates the depth of the cut is made of aluminium.

Very interesting for the innovative use of ABS plastic and for the design. It is most likely published in the book "L'Utopie du tout Plastique" which unfortunately I do not own.
The plastic that composes it is identical and contemporary to those used by Kartell, Braun and Artemide.

Also interesting is the suction cup system that allows you to keep the slicer motionless on the work surface. The suction cup is operated with the side lever.

Object with an innovative design, suitable for collectors or as a piece of furniture for homes or shop windows.

Aesthetically very well preserved, it has a slight discoloration on the white knob and some scratches on the plastic.

I powered it up and saw that it works perfectly.
