This magazine or tissue holder, produced by Fratelli Guzzini in the 1970s, embodies the essence of Italian minimalist design from the era. Crafted from high-quality plastic in a cool, pastel celadon green, it features a matte, smooth, non-reflective surface and a distinctly geometric, sculptural form. The piece is shaped as a rounded arch with a large central circular opening and parallel sides, creating a striking, futuristic silhouette. Its seamless construction, free from visible joints or hardware, accentuates the purity of form characteristic of 1970s Italian design. The holder stands upright on a flat base, with no additional ornamentation or metal details. Condition: original with minor signs of vintage use – faint surface scratches may be present, but there are no cracks or structural damage.The form of this holder evokes the spirit of Italy’s plastic revolution in the 1970s, when designers embraced new materials, prioritizing lightness, practicality, and bold synthetic colors. This object seems to tell the story of an era when plastic was elevated from mere substitute to a carrier of pure, liberated form. Its harmonious proportions and cool green hue echo the optimism and openness of the 1970s, a period when Italian interiors were reimagined with sculptural clarity and fresh energy.The holder can be paired with classic wooden furniture as well as contemporary metal or glass elements. It would work well in a mid-century modern, minimalist, or eclectic living room, serving as a subtle yet distinctive accent. Consider combining it with other period pieces—a geometric lamp or a low sideboard—or setting it against a neutral color palette to highlight the freshness of its celadon green. It can function as a magazine stand, napkin, or tissue holder, bringing a note of Italian modernism’s lightness to any interior.
