The 1970s were anything but restrained, and this trolley captures that spirit with ease. Designed by Luigi Massoni for Guzzini, it pairs removable shelves with confident geometric form, making it equally suited to serving drinks, displaying books, or housing plants.
Playful yet purposeful, it reflects a moment in Italian design where everyday function was elevated into something distinctly stylish. Marked.
The trays are formed in a warm amber tone, with a softly translucent, smoked finish that catches and diffuses light beautifully. Each circular tray has a raised lip, giving it both a defined edge and practical containment, while the material itself carries that unmistakable 1970s glow. The color adds depth without feeling heavy, creating a subtle contrast against the darker frame. Light passes through the surfaces just enough to reveal gentle reflections and shadows, giving the piece a layered, almost floating quality.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item description. While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase.

All items are carefully wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling.
