Crafted in Italy during the 1960s, it features a painted aluminum body with hinged wings that lift to reveal the ice compartment inside. The size is generous enough to be used not only as a classic ice bucket but also as a champagne cooler, easily holding a full bottle of champagne. The playful yet brutalist style, combined with the sculptural form, makes this piece both functional and highly decorative. The base is stamped Made in Italy, underlining its authenticity. Materials include aluminum and white plastic, typical of the era’s design language.
