ABOUT PRODUCTID 23340
This set of six espresso cups from the 1980s, crafted in Italy, combines cool, glossy white porcelain with polished stainless steel. Each cup is set in a minimalist metal holder accompanied by a perfectly matching, highly reflective saucer. The design is distinctly geometric: the cup bodies are cylindrical, the saucers perfectly round, and the handles are sculptural metal rings, lending the set a unique, modern presence. A subtle metallic silver band at the rim of each cup serves as the only decorative element, emphasizing the restrained elegance of the form. The materials are smooth to the touch—the porcelain is sleek, the stainless steel highly polished. The set remains in good original condition, with only minor scratches and typical signs of use, showing no evidence of major damage or restoration.These cups resonate with the voice of Italian modernism from the 1980s, valuing clarity of line and a subtle dialogue between materials. Porcelain and steel converge as two currents: the coolness of white meets the coolness of metal, yet the overall impression is approachable and tactile. The cups—like small pieces of functional sculpture—recall a time when coffee was a ritual, and form served both daily utility and aesthetic pleasure. Every detail, from the ring-shaped handles to the silver rim, speaks of the precision of Italian design and the pursuit of beauty through simplicity.This set can be showcased in a modernist kitchen or in an eclectic living space, paired with richly textured textiles or natural wood. The cups harmonize with clear glassware or minimalist ceramics, and can also be combined with 1980s accessories such as steel trays or plastic placemats. They are well suited to a simple, low coffee display or placed on a marble countertop to highlight their mirrored surfaces and clarity of form.
