Vintage Design
Wood covered with leatherette and silk-screen printing methacrylate decoration. The maquette comes from a box of biscuits. The witness is an eye that looks at you with insistence, it is an intrusive presence; you turn it around and it suddenly become an unexpected small couch. Part of the Ultramobile operation conceived by Dino Gavina in 1971 with the aim of adapting in a surprising way the surrealist object to daily use, making a poetic presence enter our homes.
