The Steel Pyramid

A Space Age mirror-polished steel sculpture by Gi.Bi. of Cermenate, near Como, a Lombardy maker of metal and crystal furnishing accessories. A tall, slender pyramid, 35cm high, its clean folded faces catching and throwing the light — a crisp piece of 1970s Italian modernism in the spirit of designers such as Gabriella Crespi and Giuseppe Raimondo. A sculptural object for a desk, shelf or mantel. Retains the original Gi.Bi maker's label.
