ABOUT PRODUCTID 17061
The Alessi ice bucket, model 871, designed by Massoni & Mazzeri in the late 1950s, is defined by its classic lines and balanced proportions. The cylindrical shape, crafted from stainless steel with an almost mirror-like polish, tapers gently towards the base. An integrated, oval indentation forms a concealed handle—no separate parts or visible fixtures—demonstrating a thoughtful, subtle approach to ergonomics. The smooth, cool surface diffuses soft reflections, and the piece bears the maker’s signature. Despite minimal vintage marks—fine hairline scratches and typical patina of 1980s steel—the bucket remains in very good condition, with no dents, wear, or missing original details.
This object speaks to the legacy of Italian design at the intersection of modernism and early postmodernism. It echoes an era when Massoni and Mazzeri reimagined everyday objects, making them emblems of a new formal language. The steel surface conjures the industrial radiance of Italian workshops, mirroring fleeting highlights and transforming the act of serving ice into an intimate, cinematic moment. The bucket does not demand attention through ornamentation—instead, it quietly merges with its setting, leaving room for the rituals and tastes of its owner.
It can be paired with other polished metal or glass bar accessories—tumblers on a low wooden tray or sleek stemware. It works well on a
