Service plateau "Timbuktu" - Matteo Thun for Anthologie Quartett

"Manitoba, Ontario, Erie, Superior, Michigan", 1982. Tray, pepper shaker, hors d'oeuvre tray, toothpick holder, salt shaker. A splendid white porcelain centrepiece designed by architect and designer Matteo Thun in the mid-1980s. This piece perfectly embodies the spirit of the Memphis Milano group: a blend of humour, radical geometry, and elegance. The tray is distinguished by its four sculptural corner elements with anthropomorphic or architectural shapes, typical of Thun's formal vocabulary at that time. Publishers: Memphis (Italy) Material: High-quality glazed porcelain. Condition: Very well preserved. The porcelain is brilliant, with no cracks or chips. Dimensions: 43 X 28 cm (tray). An essential collector's item for enthusiasts of postmodern design and the creations of the Memphis group.
