Set of 6 vintage aluminium napkin rings / egg cups by Pier

Geometric, precious, collector's items, these six pieces are part of the aluminium table collection designed by Pierre Vandel for Pierre Cardin in the 1970s. Each piece takes the form of a raw brushed aluminium cube, with each face hollowed out to create a perfect circle. A play of solids and voids with absolute rigor, straddling Bauhaus sculpture and refined table objects. They can be used as napkin rings or egg cups. Pierre Vandel is one of the most well-known figures in French design from the 1970s. His friendship with Pierre Cardin propelled him onto the international stage, connecting him with a wealthy clientele from New York to Tokyo. Their collaborations around aluminium are now among the most sought-after pieces on major vintage design platforms like 1stDibs or Pamono. On your set table, they will transform the everyday into a staged experience. Designer: Pierre Vandel. Edition: Pierre Cardin. Date: c. 1970. Place of production: France 🇫🇷 Colour: Silver, grey.
