Tearsheet
Carlo Bartoli for Rossi di Albizzate, set of three storage chests / planters, leather, plastic, metal, Italy, 1976

This versatile set serves multiple purposes: it can function as blanket chests, planters, or in the case of the taller piece as storage for umbrellas or perhaps as ashtray. The lower pieces contain casters underneath. Designed by the renowned Italian architect and designer Carlo Bartoli (1931–2020), these works are instantly recognizable for their distinctive style.

In the 1970s, design sought to transcend the strict conventions of modernism, embracing the exploration of material qualities, the use of vivid pop colors, and forms that were both symbolic and unconventional. This set reflects that spirit while embodying Bartoli’s signature approach, defined by simplicity, clarity, and the absence of superfluous ornamentation.

Kindly note that the pieces are in good, used condition with signs of age and use. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
