rare rolling bar

side table bar designed by sergio mazza for artemide in 1967.

the model name is 'bacco'.

it is made of abs plastic, stands on casters, and has a glass top.

the table is in good condition for a vintage piece—however, it was extensively restored at some point: in addition to the immediately striking bright red paint job, the underside was also modified—probably because the casters were broken or had come loose. The underside is now flat, but unfortunately, the original embossing is missing.

the result is a beautifully restored "restomod" original. It was very likely optimized for actual use back in the 1980s, instead of sitting in a corner as a yellowed, unusable collector's item.

even though the paint job was done well, it is not original and is now probably around 40 years old, showing corresponding minor imperfections.


although the paint job was done properly, it is not original and is now probably around 40 years old, so it has some minor flaws.

also included is a stylish vintage ice bucket/bottle cooler from the danish company bodum in red, which fits perfectly in the center of the cart. The container is made of plastic and is undamaged. There are some minor signs of wear on the surface.
