Ice Bucket, Cini Boeri CIBI Collection, Arnolfo di Cambio

Description

The perfect blend of high Italian craftsmanship and the legend of the seventh art. This spectacular vintage ice bucket is an undisputed design icon by the celebrated architect Cini Boeri in 1973 for the prestigious crystal manufacturer Arnolfo di Cambio, part of the renowned "CIBI" collection.

This piece achieved immortality in pop culture: the entire "CIBI" line was selected for Ridley Scott's science fiction masterpiece Blade Runner (1982), becoming the set in which the unforgettable Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) sips his whiskey. Made of pure crystal, mouth-blown and meticulously hand-cut, the ice bucket commands attention with a strong and evocative material presence. The squared forms, the diagonal cut of the corners, and the brutalist, faceted aesthetic create incredible and dramatic plays of light and shadow. Completing the geometric rigor of the design is a robust and squared pivoting metal handle, which enhances the modern and industrial aspect of the work.

A museum-worthy piece, perfect for adding character and prestige to a luxury bar area, for completing a set, or as an unforgettable gift for true connoisseurs, cult film lovers, and collectors of great Mid-Century design.
