The bar trolley: an icon of twentieth-century interior design

An icon born at the end of the 19th century and consecrated in the 1930s with the end of Prohibition, the Bar Cart brought conviviality into the home. Its light and mobile design, influenced by the Bauhaus and masters such as Alvar Aalto, made it a stylish piece. Today, it is back in vogue: no longer just a support, but a coveted design object that celebrates home mixology and the timeless pleasure of sharing.

La Madia: some interesting facts

The Madia, a traditional Italian piece of furniture dating back to the 15th century, was the heart of the kitchen: a simple surface for kneading bread and a container for flour. Until the 17th century, it was a powerful symbol of freedom and social status; today, with its rustic and functional design (barrel or chest variants), it remains a timeless icon of Italian domestic tradition.
