Golden Spring Letter Holder by Yonel Lebovici 1969

Rare letter holder spring by Yonel Lebovici, French designer 1937-1998. Edited by Formes et Couleurs and distributed by Distrimex in 1969. The gold version of this model is much rarer than the chrome one, which better symbolized the masculinist aesthetic of the time. Its solid gold-plated steel makes it a fairly heavy object that can also serve as a paperweight. Very good condition. No defects but shows some signs of normal use or slight oxidation compatible with its age.
