Description from the seller
Fabio Manlio Ciocca & Rede Guzzini – Vintage Desk Organizer Set with Perpetual Calendar – Acrylic, Italy, 1980s
Description:
A refined duo of Italian design from the 1980s, this vintage desk organizer set combines two exceptional pieces:
- A pen and stationery holder by Rede Guzzini,
- A cube desk organizer with perpetual calendar by Fabio Manlio Ciocca for Guzzini.
Both made in Italy during the golden age of postmodern design, they embody the minimalist aesthetic and functional elegance for which Guzzini became internationally renowned.
Each piece is crafted in high-quality transparent acrylic, a material celebrated in the 1980s for its futuristic look and durability. The combination of clarity, geometry, and proportion creates a timeless desk set that elevates any workspace — from a design studio to a modern office.
Condition: Excellent – minimal signs of age, maintaining their original transparency and charm.
Estimated Period: Circa 1980s
Material: Acrylic (transparent plastic)
Country of Origin: Italy
Designers: Fabio Manlio Ciocca / Rede Guzzini
Dimensions:
Cube organizer with calendar: 8.5 × 8.5 × 8.5 cm
Pen holder: 9.5 × 14.6 × 5 cm
Colour: Transparent
Why this set is special:
A perfect example of functional art from the Italian postmodern era, this desk set merges style, utility, and collectible value.
The Ciocca organizer features a perpetual calendar integrated into a minimalist cube form — both decorative and practical. The Rede Guzzini pen holder complements it with bold, sculptural lines and refined transparency.
Together, they form a rare and harmonious composition that reflects the essence of 1980s Italian design — optimistic, futuristic, and impeccably crafted.
Ideal for collectors of vintage Guzzini pieces, design lovers, or anyone who appreciates timeless desk accessories that tell a story of innovation and creativity.
About Guzzini:
Founded in 1959 in Recanati by the Guzzini brothers, Harvey Guzzini quickly became one of Italy’s most influential design manufacturers. Known for its mastery of acrylic materials and collaborations with renowned designers such as Luigi Massoni, Luciano Buttura, and Studio 6G, the brand helped shape the visual language of mid- to late-20th-century Italian design.
Owning this set means preserving a small yet meaningful piece of that legacy — where functionality meets elegance, and everyday objects become icons of design.
