Rosso Verona marble centerpiece / empty pocket, Italian design 1960s

Sergio Asti for UP&UP, "Rosso Verona" marble mineral centerpiece / pocket tray, Mid-century modern style / Italian design from the late 1960s-1970s. Perfect condition. Sergio Asti / Up&Up: initiative to revisit the use of marble in the design of everyday objects, favoring simple and functional forms, with a polished finish and attention to the material. These pieces were both aesthetic and practical, and made of quality marbles, around the end of the 1960s-1970s. Alternatives: Roberto Arioli / Gabbianelli: sculptural approach, playing with the volume of marble to create autonomous objects, often connoted "space age" or sculptural, around 1960s. Angelo Mangiarotti / Knoll: formal rationalism, minimizing volume, and using marble as a refined utilitarian object, typical of softened brutalist design, around 1960-1970.
