Forma Orizzontale Circolare fits perfectly within this research, conceived as a spatial composition as much as a functional object.\n\nCrafted from polished metal, this large trinket tray features a fragmented circular geometry, structured by overlapping volumes and taut lines. The interplay of solids and voids, along with the fluid curves, creates a dynamic reading of the surface, typical of Cappello's work from this period. The overall effect evokes a stable and balanced horizontal sculpture, while maintaining a perfectly legible function.\n\nThe piece is signed Carmelo Cappello and bears his engraved stock number , attesting to an original production for Alessi.\n\nThe state of preservation is very good : the metal has a beautiful shine, with only slight micro-traces of use, consistent with its age and without altering the formal reading.\n\nDimensions: Width 34 cm by 4.5 cm high\n\nAn iconic object of 1970s Italian design, both radical and elegant, ideal as a centerpiece on a coffee table, desk or console, and perfectly representative of the dialogue between art and industry dear to Carmelo Cappello and Alessi.","brand":"Treaptyque","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56914151604489,"sku":null,"price":1476.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5290\/4457\/files\/uifpvqhowa2xx4prgrx5.jpg?v=1768899647","url":"https:\/\/oblist.com\/products\/large-metal-storage-compartment-forma-orizzontale-circolare-by-carmelo-cappello-for-ales","provider":"The Oblist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
