Alessi - Philippe Starck - Ogranicznik drzwi - Dede - Żywica termoplastyczna z powłoką PVD, metal brązowy

Designed by Philippe Starck in 1996 and originally produced in die-cast aluminium, the Dédé doorstop is a truly sculptural figure that gives life to one of the many anthropomorphic characters typical of the French author's poetic imagery. An unconscious world transformed into an expressive and functional object. With a very realistic body posture, the Dédé doorstop seems to be pondering whether to go in or out, whether to close or open the door. This Dédé doorstop is made of thermoplastic resin with a brown metal colored coating and an anti slip layer underneath. Besides, this Dédé can be functional as a book holder or sculpture. The Dédé doorstop is a perfect example of Starck's poetic: objects capable of surprising, conveying emotions and recalling memories. An evocative form becomes a familiar everyday companion.

This doorstop is as new and never been used. Delivered with original box and manuals.
