Designed by Italian designer Livia Castelli in 1972 for Fain, this multifunctional mobile bar is a standout example of Space Age Italian design. The cylindrical body conceals a clever folding mechanism, allowing the top flaps to open into a generous serving surface. When closed, the bar becomes a compact sculptural object, easy to move thanks to its discreet castor wheels.
Made from glossy ABS plastic in a bold red hue, this piece embodies the playful optimism and futuristic spirit of early 1970s design. Both practical and decorative, it was conceived for modern, informal interiors where form and function could coexist without compromise.
This model is part of the permanent collection of the Design Museum Brussels, underscoring its relevance within the canon of 20th-century design. Castelli’s work is increasingly sought after by collectors and curators alike, with this bar standing out as her most iconic piece.
This particular example is in good vintage condition with normal signs of use for a piece of this age and material, with smooth folding action and original wheels. A rare find in this colour and state of preservation, it’s ideal for collectors of Italian modernism, or as a statement piece in any contemporary interior.
