1970s Mid-Century Modern Fake Tortoiseshell Lucite Octagonal Italian Tray

About the Item

An amazing serving tray designed and manufactured in Italy in the Seventies in the style of Christian Dior who used lucite with a faux tortoiseshell effect for many of his home collections, the tray it's in very good condition. Mid-Century Modern design, which flourished roughly from the 1940s to the 1970s, is characterized by clean lines, minimalistic forms, and a focus on functionality. Lucite, a transparent thermoplastic, was a popular material during this period due to its versatility and modern aesthetic. Fake tortoiseshell effect, was used to mimic the look of the genuine material without the ethical concerns associated with using real tortoiseshell. Italian design has long been renowned for its innovation and craftsmanship, and during the mid-20th century, Italy was a hub for cutting-edge design. The octagonal shape for the tray also aligns with the geometric and angular forms often seen in Mid-Century Modern design. The high edge of the tray allows you to easily serve glasses and also makes it a beautiful furnishing object.
