Rectangular Carved Travertine Box in the style of Fratelli Mannelli Italy 1970s

About the Item

An essential and elegant box made in Italy that can contain whatever you want, cigarettes, business cards or use as a jewelry box. Dating back to around the 70s, it is made of travertine, a material widely used at the time to create truly stylish furniture and objects by designers such as Willy Rizzo, Romeo Rega, Enzo Mari etc.. The two travertine bodies that make up this vintage box are joined by a thin golden metal structure that acts as a hinge and which makes this piece even more glamorous by creating a contrast between the smooth, golden and mirrored metal and the travertine, a raw and primitive. Three lines, two horizontal and one perpedicular, are engraved on the lid, creating a three-dimensional geometric decoration that makes the box sculptural. The box is intact and without obvious defects. Travertine has a splendid color given by the patina of time. Reach out for any additional questions.

Midcentury Travertine Ashtray in the Style of Fratelli Mannelli, Italy, 1970s
By Fratelli Mannelli
Located in Roma, IT
Sculptural Ashtray attributable to the historic company Fratelli Mannelli, specialized in the processing of travertine. Known for its collaboration with the designer Enzo Mari, who designed a series of stylized travertine animals, this Manifcaturer has also produced many other furnishing elements such as ashtrays, coffee tables and lamps. The ashtray that we offer for design and material seems to be part of this vast production of this manufacturer. The ashtray has a classic quadrangular shape but the distinctive element that distinguishes it and makes it more similar to a sculpture than a simple ashtray is in the handmade carved elements. There is a small central basin that connects with those created to be able to place the cigarettes laterally, but above all the lines that intersect each other as in a sound sculpture by Pinuccio Sciola.
