Elegant and very special thermos; the structure is made of sturdy Asian bamboo and inside there is the silvered glass part with a double cavity (Sir James Deward's vase) with a cork stopper for hermetic closure; very unusual is the simple but strong shape of the handle; the metal part at the top that is grafted into the bamboo is shaped like a beak to facilitate the pouring of liquids; on the side of the thermos (see photo) you can see what may seem an imperfection, but it is nothing more than a natural knot of bamboo that attests to the authenticity. The natural bamboo, with its warm shades of color, makes a characteristic and original product. Analyzing its physical and mechanical characteristics, it is hard, strong, and dimensionally stable, able to withstand stress and pressure has great strength. It is stronger than oak, considered the most durable wood. The thermos was designed by the Italian designer, furniture maker, and decorator Aldo Tura (1909-1963) and produced between 1950 and 1955 by the company he founded in 1939, in Cusano Milanino (Lombardy-Italy). Working between the trends of Art Deco and modernism, Tura created luxury accessories and unique furniture that were characterized by rich materials, sculptural forms, and exclusive craftsmanship techniques. In the post-war years, while many furniture manufacturers were adapting their working methods to mass production, Tura continued to engage in traditional craft methods. He preferred complex forms and labor-intensive processes that could never be replicated in a large-scale production system. His mix of Art Deco, Art Nouveau style with minimalist modern design went beyond the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship. In his designs he used a wide range of unusual materials such as bamboo, goatskin, eggshells, parchment, and wood veneers, employing his most beloved colors of yellow, red, and green. The Brooklyn Museum in New York has several of Tura's works, which were originally displayed in the traveling exhibition "Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today."Many of his products are true collector's items, particularly creations such as our thermos finished in bamboo and sometimes in goatskin and parchment. As we have said, Tura never adapted to the industrial process and this has determined that even today there are only a limited number of his objects on the market. The use of bamboo for the realization of our thermos has given us an object worthy of one of the biggest names in Italian design.Misure width cm.18, profondità cm.11, altezza cm.29. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, styrofoam, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects. less
