Optical Relief Cake Stand
Description
Equally at home at both casual gatherings and elegant soirees, this plastic cake stand boasts a 11.8-inch-wide raised-pattern platform that will add visual interest to your cake, pastries or hors d’oeuvres displays. The cover fits neatly into the base for easy storage. Made in Italy by Guzzini, a manufacturer in MoMA’s collection.
Back in the late 1930s, Guzzini launched a small design revolution by manufacturing everyday items in Plexiglas. By the 1960s, they had begun working with molded acrylics, a light and affordable material for which the company is well-known for today. In their quest to marry practicality with aesthetic appeal, Guzzini is constantly exploring new materials and original design concepts. Their mission is to improve the quality of daily life while being mindful of the environment. The company’s thermoplastics can be recycled and reborn as new designs.
