Steel Pipe Drink Trolley

Originally designed in 1968, the Steel Pipe Drink Trolley is strikingly contemporary, a reflection of the research in which form and function are immediately evident. In 2014 a surprisingly simple and intuitive new object was born: a cart on wheels with a frame made of iron tubes varnished with black matte finish epoxy powder and shelves in white laminate, with matte black carters and wheels made of grey plastic, suitable for delicate surfaces. This iconic project is available in the hues that most characterize the designer’s works.

The Steel Pipe Drink Trolley was designed by Shiro Kuramata. Kuramata is the founder of Kuramata Design Office in Tokyo. He best epitomized the spirit of the era in which he lived, through his highly significant products and creations. Kuramata’s designs are still remarkably modern, and many can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris, the MoMA in New York, the Metropolitan Museum, the Vitra Design Museum, and the Museum of Modern Art of Toyama.
