The trolley is made entirely of white painted iron, which gives it a soft touch. There are 4 wheels at the base which allow the trolley to be easily transported.
Just above the wheels we see a rectangular shelf in blue mirrored glass, which contrasts with the white, making it even more beautiful. The shelf is enclosed by a white iron thin squiggly frame. from each wheel starts a stem, the two rear ones are straight, while the front ones create a central depression, which gives movement and sinuosity to the object.
Going further up we see another plane identical to the one below, with the same sinuous frame.
The rear legs continue until they create the support for pushing the trolley.
The food trolley looks splendid and is suitable for classy dinners or lunches. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
