italian art, '500 by paolo casalis from italy

designer's own words:

A man in a museum, thinking about Italian Art.
His mind goes to his Fiat 500, as he would like to see it among other masterpieces, enclosed by a sparkling golden frame.
"Italian Art, '500" is the perfect cover for your favourite work of art, it is a way to exalt and differentiate it, to transform your parking site into a personal museum.
It can be used both in Fiat shops and showrooms, as a promotional mean, or in people's everyday life.
Designed like a wooden meter stick, "Italian Art,'500" is a compact and collapsible frame made
of hard plastic or soft expanded polyurethane, a portable golden frame which can be easily extended
in order to enclose your 500.
You can mount it directly on the ground or lay it to a wall, to obtain for your artwork an horizontal or vertical point of view.
A safety catch is included in the kit, so that you can keep it in your garden for your private seeing, or place it in the city to create your own art gallery.
