Italian « Triangle » Aluminium Catch-all, 1980s

Italy, 1980s. Cast aluminium then gave rise to sculptural pieces with taut lines, halfway between the utilitarian object and sculpture. This large « Triangle » catch-all is a fine example.Made of aluminium, it unfolds a triangular form with tapered points and a gently hollowed surface that seems to float on its central foot. The raw metal, patinated by time, takes on soft reflections between grey and silver.Beautiful patina of use: the interior shows light surface scratches — aluminium marks easily, especially when stacked — nothing jarring or structural. A generous, well-preserved piece.At 53 cm long by 23.5 cm wide and 9 cm high, this catch-all makes a statement on a console, a coffee table or an entryway, to hold mail, keys or fruit. A graphic object with strong presence.
