Lagostina Kitchen Timer Funny Time Design R. Pezzetta Space Age - Italy 1980

This original Lagostina Funny Time kitchen timer is a perfect example of 1980s Italian design, created by Roberto Pezzetta and inspired by the Space Age Modernariato style. An object as useful as it is decorative, it transforms a simple everyday gesture into a playful and out-of-the-ordinary visual experience.

The compact, rounded shape, dominated by a central yellow sphere reminiscent of an egg yolk, is designed to immediately capture attention. The body is made of durable two-tone plastic, with a glossy dark gray and cream white finish, while the contrasting yellow central knob gives the object a cheerful, almost cartoonish look. The front features the clearly visible Lagostina logo with its iconic house, an unmistakable signature of Italian home design.

The legible and functional numerical scale is positioned on the underside and allows for precise time adjustment. It's perfect for the kitchen, but also lends itself as a decorative element on a shelf or in a retro-inspired space.

In excellent aesthetic condition and fully functional, this timer is now a collector's item, rare to find, especially in the original colored version. The design of Roberto Pezzetta, a designer renowned for his ironic and unconventional insights, is fully expressed in this object, which perfectly embodies the creative and innovative spirit of 1980s Italian design.

A perfect gift idea for design enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone who wants to add a touch of space-age style to their kitchen.
