MICHAEL LAX FOR COPCO - SWITZERLAND
found tonight for a couple bucks, very beautiful large enamel on some kind of metal bowl. love the yellow , the shape and the design.
Michael Lax, an industrial designer best known for the craftsman-like appreciation for texture and color that he brought to such household icons of the 1960's as the Copco teakettle with the bent teak handle or the rippling curve of his first glassware for Mikasa. His shapes encouraged both a visual and a tactile appreciation for shape. Though he turned to sculpture in midlife, Mr. Lax always had a serious, hands-on approach to his industrial design work. this piece does work very well others :)

Love the Yellow, always been intrigued with industrial as you called it houseware items. I think it says a ton about the craftmanship and strength of America. Some of our designers have added great contributions to life here in the USA, its a shame we are constantly selling ourselves out to other countries like we do. We were once a great POWERHOUSE and now we have reduced ourselves to...well you know! didnt mean to get on the soapbox! Great Bowl Bellin68
Of course Im a IDIOT...I see that this designer was from Swiss...lol. Hey Im european in bloodline as well and they made some AWESOME contributions and...I know, Shut up JayHow, you fool! My mistake Bellin68. Im not at the top of the game today for some reason....Loved the Bowl just the same!
