ABOUT PRODUCTID 23655
Designed by Claude Delvé for the Italian manufacturer Delfi in the 1970s, this coffee set comprises two crisp white porcelain cups set in geometric brass holders, matching saucers, and a lidded sugar bowl. The cylindrical cups are finished with a fine gold rim, while the square saucers with softly rounded corners echo the modernist lines of the era. The brass elements feature a subtly hammered, semi-matte texture, displaying a natural patina and minor scratches—evidence of hand-crafting and vintage authenticity. The sugar bowl repeats the geometric motif, complemented by a flat, circular lid and a small rectangular handle. The entire set embodies the Italian mid-century modern approach, balancing the cool, smoothness of porcelain with the textured warmth of brass. In good vintage condition, it shows minor traces of use and time typical for the 1970s.Within this interplay of porcelain and brass, one senses the voice of 1970s Italian modernism: the simplicity of form and measured ornamentation speak to an era when everyday objects were elevated by refined design. The golden surfaces and angular handles evoke gatherings around coffee, where function met cultivated aesthetics. Each cup seems to tell a story of a time when Italian design sought harmony between craft and modernity, with the porcelain’s gentle sheen and mellow brass patina capturing the fleeting quality of shared moments.The set can be used both as a functional coffee service and as a decorative accent in a living or dining room. It would work well on a marble or wooden tabletop, paired with other vintage tableware or minimalist mid-century modern accessories. One could combine it with neutral textiles and a glass carafe to highlight the contrast of materials and
