Its design is part of the "radical design" movement starting in the 1960s in Italy freed itself from the rules of too strict modernism by inventing objects or structures without limits or codes.
This piece is iconic, it is always produced to date, the colors and the style vary according to the trends of the moment, with several special editions in collaboration with different artists.
Its structure is made up of sculpted polyurethane foam giving it a honeycomb appearance and covered with Guflac paint making the surfaces more uniform and elastic.
It is in good condition, some faults are noted, it has several chips on the branches and the paint flags in certain places.
The base also begins to disintegrate. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,

or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
