The piece features a cubic smoked acrylic outer structure that clearly defines the object’s volume, while the translucent plastic inner container creates refined effects of transparency and layering. The circular lid with a satin metal tubular handle introduces a material contrast that emphasizes the technical and industrial nature of the design.

The object is complete with its original metal ice tongs, a functional element that enhances the coherence of the design and increases its collectible appeal.

Its rigorous geometric composition reflects the language of Italian design in the 1970s, where formal purity was combined with an experimental approach to synthetic materials. The overall presence remains graphic and contemporary, making it suitable for both modern and eclectic interiors.
