Trio of Lidded Travertine Jars by Pier Alessandro Giusti & Egidio Di Rosa
A stunning trio of sculptural lidded travertine jars designed by Pier Alessandro Giusti and Egidio Di Rosa for Up & Up Italia, circa 1970s. This remarkable set showcases the timeless elegance of Italian design, blending natural stone with artistic precision. Each vessel features an intricate geometric design of banded circles, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. The sharpness of the design contrasts beautifully with the organic rounded forms of the natural stone. The travertine’s natural unfilled texture and warmth adds further depth and character, making these jars an elegant focal point in any space. They are both functional and decorative, making them perfect for styling credenzas, kitchen countertops, or bookshelves. Their minimalist, yet striking, design reflects the sophisticatation and pride of Italian craftsmanship and attention to detail that define the Up & Up aesthetic. We also have a vide poche and centerpiece from the same collection available.
