Designed by Joe Colombo and made by Arnolfo di Cambio in the early 1970s, the box “Biglia” is a refined example of material experimentation and functional design. The object reflects Columbus's modular and futurist vision, which conceived each element as part of a coherent system of contemporary life: compact, essential, and technically advanced.
The base is made of amethyst-colored crystal with perfect proportions, while the polished stainless steel lid, curved and sliding, creates an elegant contrast between transparency and reflection, hot and cold, organic and industrial. The high construction quality, typical of Arnolfo di Cambio's production, is evident in the impeccable sanding of the crystal and the precision of the metal, which transform a simple container into a luminous micro-sculpture.
Signed “Joe Colombo” and labeled Arnolfo di Cambio, the Biglia represents a rare synthesis between function and sculpture in Italian design of the 1970s, a testament to Colombo's visionary aesthetic and the artisanal excellence of Tuscan craftsmanship. In excellent condition, with slight signs of weather on the steel.
