Bitossi Bird figure on metal base, Rimini blue

Bitossi’s bird figure charms with its gentle, all-seeing gaze. The figure balancing on a metal base, originally known in Italian as “Figura di uccello su base di metallo”, is part of Aldo Londi’s Rimini Blu collection, where the deep blue color and playful shapes evoke the atmosphere of the Riviera. This is no coincidence, as the series is named after the famous Rimini resort on Italy’s Riviera. Each piece in the series is finished with swift brushstrokes beneath the blue, creating a bright effect reminiscent of the shimmering sea. The Rimini Blu series has been continuously produced since 1959.
