Very nice and decorative centrepiece bowl designed by Nerone Ceccarelli and Giancarlo Patuzzi (NP2), Italy 1971. Beautiful and unique shaped centerpiece bowl. This bowl is made from cast aluminum and looks like wrinkled paper, giving it a unique appearance. The surface feels slightly rough which gives it an interesting texture. The bowl plays wonderfully with light, every time of day, or night. The sculpture is expertly crafted, making it a highly decorative piece that stands out. You’ll find the signature ‘NP2 Nerone Patuzzi’ at one of the corners.
