Conceived as modular bathroom elements, each unit offers two curved tiers with subtle anti-slip ridges, housed within a sculptural triangular form that fits neatly against the wall. The bold red and green plastic reflects Gedy’s pioneering research into new polymers and chromatic finishes during this period.

Although originally intended for shower installations, these shelves translate effortlessly into contemporary interiors: as compact kitchen storage, playful studio organisers, or graphic decorative accents. Their glossy surfaces remain beautifully preserved, demonstrating the durability and manufacturing quality associated with Gedy’s Italian production.

Measuring 25 × 16.5 × 16.5 cm, the pair can be displayed together or separately. They offer an engaging combination of utility and visual clarity, ideal for collectors of post-war Italian design or enthusiasts of colourful Space Age aesthetics. This piece has an attribution mark,
