ABOUT PRODUCTID 11575
This postmodern figurative service bell from Germany, dating to the 1970s, is crafted from chromed brass with a smooth, highly reflective silver surface. The bell features a conical body with gently flared sides and two subtle engraved horizontal rings near the top, adding a geometric accent to its minimalist form. Atop the bell sits a stylized bird figure with detailed feather texture and a naturalistic pose, perched on a textured base reminiscent of a branch or nest. The craftsmanship is seamless, with no visible joints or fittings, indicating precise manufacturing. The bell is preserved in excellent condition, with no signs of use, damage, or patina; all components remain original and unrestored.This small object conveys the spirit of the 1970s, a time when German designers embraced wit and irony over the seriousness of modernism. The chromed surface reflects its surroundings, inviting an interplay of light and form—a nod to an era when everyday objects could become small-scale sculptures. The bird figure, poised between function and decoration, suggests a playful dialogue with the user: “nothing is only what it appears to be.” The geometric body and organic bird detail form a composition that speaks to the freedom of interpretation and the subtle humor embedded in daily life.The bell can be displayed on a console table in the living room, among organic sculptures, or on a desk beside geometric metal accessories. It suits collectible interiors with an ironic twist and can be paired with Memphis-inspired graphics or minimalist ceramics. Placing it against light wood will highlight the cool sheen of the chrome, while a granite tray can accentuate both its decorative and functional qualities.
