Kartell Trolley & Bar Cart
Price
This playful round bar & serving cart is elegant and classy, designed by Alberto Rosselli for Kartell in the 1970s. The item is fully functional, with light wear and scratches consistent with age and use.
Alberto Rosselli completed his studies in architecture at the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1947, before founding Studio PFR in Milan in 1950 with Gio Ponti and Antonio Fornaroli. He saw his work during Italy's reconstruction period as a service to a new society: the furnishings he designed were intended to be modern, simple, and affordable. He first put these principles into practice with his kitchen design for a two-person household in 1951, which functionally adapted to the cramped living conditions of the time. He was interested in fostering dialogue between industry and design, which led him to establish a magazine titled Stile Industria in 1953. Until it merged with Domus magazine in 1963, it was one of the most significant platforms for contemporary design discussion.
