Alessi


The corkscrew below is part of this same line by Alessi. The new line is part of an ongoing collaboration with the national palace museum in taiwan and Stefano Giovannoni, which began the line called “chin family”.

According to Alessi " this interpretation is keeping with the playful style of which our designer is an acknowledged master. a characteristic that, in the designs presented today, takes a very new form. just like the objects in the “chin family”, each piece performs the roles of domestic household objects and is, in part, hand-decorated. the magic of giovannoni’s design lies in the fact that these objects recall the grace of 18th century ceramic trinkets, while continuing to be utterly contemporary." They are a real statement for sure...but the prices are whacked.
