STUDIO ARMANDO TESTA, Pippo Ippopotamus for Lines

Among the most significant protagonists of the various iconic creations conceived within Studio Testa, we certainly remember "Pippo", the Lines hippopotamus, a hippopotamus-shaped puppet created by the talented Santo Alligo, rightly defined as his first important experience as contemporary sculptor.

Pippo is the now consecrated thirty-year testimonial of Lines-Huggies diapers designed in the 50s but made of blue rubber, which has now ceased to serve as an advertising representation for diapers to become a true icon of Italian designer design. Very rare object, for connoisseurs.

Size:
Height 16,5 cm Length 31 cm Depth 15 cm

It still has the original label under one of the two legs (even if ruined and no longer legible) and the writing "Lines".

In excellent vintage condition, normal wear.

In the development of mass culture, the commitment made by Armando Testa's studio (Turin, 1917-1992) should not be underestimated who, thanks to the contribution of a team of exceptional creatives, managed to churn out heroes of the small screen who have become then the symbols of our culture and our identity, as well as of course the icons of international design of the second half of the XNUMXth century.

Packaging and transportation will be done professionally. We ship all over the world.

Estimated shipping time is generally 1 to 7 business days.

Other photos will be sent upon request.

The object is available in our shop located in Turin in via Monte di Pietà 23/ì open regularly 6 days a week.
