A thermos carafe designed and produced in Italy in the 1950s by Aldo Tura is in excellent condition. The carafe designed by Aldo Tura is a testimony to the innovative and distinctive design ethos of the time. This carafe is a harmonious blend of luxurious materials, elegant lines and a unique colour palette. The main feature of the jug is the use of green goatskin and brass in original patina, creating a juxtaposition of textures that defines the Mid-Century Modern style. The goatskin, with its rich, soft surface, adds an element of tactile luxury to the design. Its natural variations and imperfections give a sense of authenticity and warmth. The green colour of the goatskin, dyed to achieve a specific shade, exudes a sense of elegance inspired by nature. The brass components of the pitcher contribute to the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic with their warm, reflective surfaces. The brass not only serves as a structural element, but also complements the goatskin, creating a visual interplay between the two materials. This carafe by Aldo Tura was a versatile piece, suitable both for serving drinks and for adding a touch of elegance to interior spaces. Placed on a table or sideboard, it would have acted as a centrepiece capturing the essence of the design philosophy of the time. Aldo Tura's creation represents an era that celebrated innovation, experimentation and a new approach to fusing art with everyday objects. It is in original condition, with normal signs of use and age.
