The carafe designed by Aldo Tura is a testament to the era's innovative and distinctive design ethos, this pitcher is a harmonious blend of luxurious materials, sleek lines, and a unique color palette. The pitcher's standout feature is its use of green goatskin and brass in original patina, creating a juxtaposition of textures that defines the Mid-Century Modern style. The goatskin, with its rich and supple surface, adds an element of tactile luxury to the design. Its natural variations and imperfections provide a sense of authenticity and warmth. The green hue of the goatskin dyed to achieve a specific shade, exudes a sense of nature-inspired elegance. The brass components of the pitcher contribute to the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic with their warm, reflective surfaces. The brass not only serves as a structural element but also complements the goatskin, creating a visual interplay between the two materials. This Carafe by Aldo Tura would have been a versatile piece, suitable for both serving beverages and adding a touch of elegance to interior spaces. Placed on a table or a sideboard, it would have acted as a statement piece that captures the essence of the era's design philosophy. Aldo Tura's creation stands as a representation of an era that celebrated innovation, experimentation, and a new approach to blending art with everyday objects. It's in original condition with normal signs of use and age. See less
