ABOUT PRODUCTID 16030
This standing 'Z' letter from the 1970s is crafted entirely from brushed aluminium, imparting a cool silver hue with a distinctly industrial texture. The surface features subtle variations in sheen: mostly matte, yet with soft satin highlights where the light catches edges and curves, revealing the methodical brushmarks typical of post-industrial finishes. The letter’s profile is compact and blocky, with rounded ends and sharply executed lines, referencing both the mid-century modern aesthetic and the typographic, architectural spirit of the late 1960s and 1970s. Absence of decorative elements or mounting hardware underscores the purity of form, letting material and proportion take center stage. The piece is solid, stable and stands upright unaided. It remains in excellent condition overall: only minor scratches and light scuffs attest to its vintage age, with no notable damage or restoration; the original, unrestored finish is preserved. The object embodies a period where the boundaries between form and function dissolved, and even typography emerged as sculpture in its own right. Aluminium—in that era, a modern material par excellence—finds its own voice here: gleaming brushstrokes serve almost as ornament, while the monolithic profile speaks in the language of the 1970s, evoking a promise of order and structural clarity. Each curve recalls a moment when design was a statement of restraint and a tribute to material honesty. The 'Z' letter could be displayed in a home library, on a living room shelf, or within a loft as a bold accent against bare walls
