The famous Pilastro little man from the 1950s/60s by designer Tjerk Rijenga. This time, a seated reading man, with a white metal grid behind him (Pilastro's trademark), constructed so that letters or cards can be stored inside. The man is made of heavy metal wire and has a metal sphere for a head. Due to its seated position, the man acts as a support. Incidentally, the object is made entirely of metal, including the book.
As you can see, there is unfortunately some damage from rust (see the last 3 photos), especially on the inside of the book and the legs. It might be repairable, but I have deliberately left it as is for now.
Otherwise, everything is in excellent condition, with no damage or bent parts.
A decorative, funny, and functional object from the 1960s!
Of course, your purchase will be carefully and securely packed and shipped quickly.
