About the Item

Italian Memphis Style Valet / Towel Rack by Metalplastica Luccese, 1980s Striking and functional, this vintage valet / towel rack embodies the bold spirit of 1980s Italian Memphis design. Produced by Metalplastica Luccese, the piece captures the playful geometry, bright color palette, and sculptural presence that defined the radical design movement of the era. Crafted in sturdy metal and finished in a vivid, lacquered yellow, the valet features two swiveling arms and two tray-like holders, offering both practicality and visual impact. Its asymmetrical balance and strong graphic form make it not only a useful household accessory but also a collectible design object. Perfect as a towel stand in a bathroom, a valet for clothing in a bedroom or dressing area, or even as a statement piece in a modern interior, this work exemplifies the Italian mastery of merging everyday functionality with avant-garde style.
