Velox Ferrara AutoBar Rare Pair of Coffee Cups - Italy 1969

This rare pair of orange VELOX cups represents an authentic piece of 1960s Italian design culture. Made in Ferrara in 1969, they were designed to be part of the famous and now highly sought-after AutoBar set, which included a travel coffee maker, a symbol of the practicality and retro flair of an era when plastic design reigned supreme.

The Velox cups, made entirely of rigid, food-grade plastic, feature a functional, geometric design with a angular handle that recalls the minimalist style typical of camping gear and automotive supplies of the time. The base features an embossed inscription, "VELOX Ferrara – Italy," along with the note "Pour Aliments," certifying their safe use for hot beverages. The bright orange color makes them highly decorative and recognizable, perfect for collectors of vintage Italian items and those seeking a touch of modern nostalgia in their home.

These items are often sought after by collectors precisely because of their connection to the world of road trips, popular motoring, and the Italian economic boom. A true gem for vintage design enthusiasts, they are hard to find, especially in such well-preserved condition and as original pairs.

A perfect set to add character to the kitchen, for alternative use as a storage unit, or simply to be admired on the shelves of a collection dedicated to post-war Italian design.
