About this vintage design furniture
A Goatskin and Brass tobacco box designed by Aldo Tura and manufactured by Macabo in the Fifties, it's in lovely vintage condition with brass in original patina. This exquisite tobacco box reflects the epitome of mid-century modern design, crafted by Aldo Tura in the 1950s. The exterior of the box is adorned with luxurious brown goatskin, a material often favored by Tura for its rich texture and warmth. The goatskin is meticulously applied, creating a seamless and tactile surface that adds a touch of sophistication to the piece .The box takes the whimsical form of a pipe, capturing the spirit of the era when smoking was a common and socially acceptable practice. The brass material is polished to a lustrous sheen, providing a striking contrast to the earthy tones of the brown goatskin. The choice of brass not only adds a touch of glamour but also showcases Tura's mastery of working with diverse materials. The pipe shape of the box is a nod to the playful and creative elements often found in mid-century design. It serves both as a functional storage container for tobacco and as a decorative art piece, seamlessly blending form and function. The overall design exudes a sense of elegance and refinement, characteristic of Aldo Tura's work. This tobacco box not only reflects the design trends of the 1950s but also stands as a testament to Tura's ability to infuse everyday objects with artistic flair and enduring style.
