This mid century bent plywood icebox with matching tongs is a beautifully made example of 1950s design, where form and function are given equal care. The cylindrical body is crafted from layers of curved plywood with a smooth lacquered finish that gives it a gentle sheen and a warm, honey toned colour. The craftsmanship is thoughtful and refined, with a seamless shape that feels balanced and sturdy in the hand.

Measuring approximately 15 centimetres high and 16 centimetres in diameter, it is perfectly sized for entertaining. The matching wooden tongs create a pleasing sense of completeness, while the brass handle and finial add a subtle note of elegance. Together they embody the organic lines and natural materials associated with mid century style.

Originally used to keep ice at hand during cocktail hour, this piece remains entirely practical today. It sits beautifully on a bar trolley, drinks cabinet or dining sideboard, where it can be used as intended or repurposed to hold napkins, snacks or bar tools. Its warm wood tone pairs especially well with glass, crystal, brass and coloured glassware, adding depth and sophistication to a drinks setting.

The combination of bent plywood and brass detail gives the piece a Scandinavian or British modernist feel, where shape, weight and proportion are carefully considered. It has a tactile quality that invites handling, and a presence that enriches the space it is placed in.

In lovely vintage condition with gentle signs of age to the wood and metal, it remains both decorative and functional. A wonderful piece for those who appreciate mid century design, crafted materials and objects that bring both beauty and use into daily life.
