Stretchy braided underside

Description: Stretchy silver metal underside. News: ◦ material(s): zinc. ◦ color(s): silver. ◦ origin(s): made in italy, 60s / 70s. ◦ dimensions: closed: l 18.5cm X 18.5cm. Deployed: l 24.5cm X 18.5cm. News: ◦ material(s): metal. ◦ color(s): silver. This underside made in italy and straight from the 1960s/70s is a curious object. Its grid-shaped graphics mimic the texture of bamboo. But its main peculiarity is its extensible character. It is indeed equipped with two metal rods on which the ends can slide. It will thus go from a length of 18.5cm to 24.5cm in the blink of an eye. This unusual underside will be used in everyday life. But it can also make its small effect during a dinner. It will certainly be used during summer barbecues. It will be associated with other useful and design objects such as a bottle opener in the shape of a sea lion, a pocket tray in the shape of a shell or silver knife rests. ◦ note: second-hand object that has already been used and bears traces of wear (see photos).
