Elegant signed design centerpiece by Michele De Lucchi (1951–), one of Italy’s most influential contemporary designers and a founding member of the legendary Memphis Group. The piece consists of a cut-out metal sculpture in the form of a stylised tree, mounted into a hand-made opaline glass dish with beautiful swirling effects in white and pale blue tones. The metal arm is clearly signed “M. De Lucchi”. This object reflects De Lucchi’s characteristic combination of architectural lines and poetic decorative elements, typical of his work for Produzione Privata and his small-edition design pieces from the 1990s. A refined collectible suitable as a centerpiece, fruit bowl, sculptural table ornament or design display object. Designer: Michele De Lucchi Origin: Italy Period: ca. 1990s Materials: Metal (likely anodized aluminum or steel), opaline glass Signature: Yes, engraved on the metal support. Condition Good vintage condition. Minor age-related surface wear to the glass and metal, consistent with use. No cracks or structural damage. Please see the photos to form your own impression.
