Aldo Tura Lacquered Wood Set for Macabo Cusano, 1950s

Italian Mid-Century Modern Decorative Barware

An elegant and collectible Aldo Tura design, this lacquered wood thermos and basket set was produced by Macabo Cusano in Italy during the 1950s. It showcases the designer’s signature use of textured lacquered finishes combined with brass and metal details, resulting in a timeless expression of mid-century Italian luxury.

Mid-century craftsmanship and sculptural design
Both pieces demonstrate Tura’s distinctive aesthetic — a fusion of modernist geometry and organic texture. The thermos features a tall, cylindrical form with a polished metal spout and handle, while the basket is characterized by a deep red interior and sculptural brass handle. Each element is a testament to Italian artisanship and thoughtful material experimentation.

Collectible Italian barware and decorative set
Highly sought after by collectors of Aldo Tura’s work, this pair exemplifies the designer’s unique approach to functional art. Perfect as a barware accent, table centerpiece, or display object, the set adds a warm and sophisticated tone to any interior setting.
