Emsta

Enzo Mari

The Emsta trolley is a refined example of Italian postmodern design, created by the influential designer Enzo Mari for Alessi as part of the La Casa della Felicità collection. Designed in the late 1980s, the trolley reflects Mari’s commitment to functional, honest design with a strong conceptual foundation. Crafted with a lacquered aluminum frame and two removable ribbed glass trays, the Emsta pairs clean industrial lines with elegant transparency. Its silhouette is softened by rounded edges and a curved top handle, while its three-wheeled base—two large wheels and a stabilizing caster—ensures both visual balance and easy maneuverability. The result is a versatile piece that serves equally well as a bar cart, serving trolley, or side console.
