About the Item

Studio Bees Ice Bucket for Di Cini & Nils, 1974 Design: Studio Api - Franco Bettonica & Franco Melocchi, 1974 A remarkable example of mid-century Italian design, this ice bucket was created by Studio Api for Di Cini & Nils in 1974. Designed by Franco Bettonica and Franco Melocchi, it showcases the studio's mastery of pure geometric forms and functional elegance. The piece is sculptural and minimalist: a solid smoked acrylic cube opens from the top to reveal a semi-spherical ice tray housed within a cylinder. The essential geometric shapes-cube, cylinder, and hemisphere-demonstrate an extraordinary balance between simplicity and sophistication. Designed to enhance a mid-century bar or an elegant kitchen, this ice bucket is not only functional but also a statement object, reflecting the refined aesthetic of 1970s Italian design. Its iconic, minimal form has made it highly sought after by collectors and museums alike. The hinged stainless-steel lid and rounded flip-top cover complete the elegant design, while the producer's stamp on the base confirms authenticity. Material: Smoked acrylic with stainless-steel hinge and lid Dimensions: H 16.5 × W 16.5 × D 16.5 cm (6.5 × 6.5 × 6.5 in) Production: Di Cini & Nils - Italy This Studio Api ice bucket is a rare opportunity to own a quintessential example of Italian mid-century minimalism, where geometric precision meets everyday functionality.
