Bread and breadstick basket in 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished. This piece is produced simply by cutting, bending, and welding specific areas of an 18/10 stainless steel sheet. The robustness of this object is entrusted to the welding process performed by hand. The "Octave" is an elegant container suitable for serving bread or breadsticks. The polished finish enhances the sophisticated simplicity of the object. This new project, like its predecessors, reflects the Australian designer's interest in mathematics and geometry, combined with her search for possible connections between these disciplines and music. With "Octave" the designer explores the potential ability of the ellipse to create harmonic and proportionate forms. In music, an octave is the interval between one tone and another, defined by the ratio of 2:1. This new object was created using this ratio, which corresponds to a musical octave: the inspiration behind the name of the project.
Born in Barcelona in 1941 and active mainly as an architect and interior designer, Lluis Clotet has received many awards such as the F.A.D Award for creating the Best Interior Designs for 1965 and 1972, and the Best Building Award for 1979 and 1980. These abilities have enabled him to create many interesting, modern-inspired furnishings and household items that are featured for Alessi. The Port Basket (2001) designed by Lluis Clotet was a development from both the ''Foix Tray'' and ''Sarria Basket'' which had been designed previously in 1994 and 2000. Due to a very large demand for a larger version of the Sarria, the Port Basket was conceived. However, instead of simply replicating his previous design, he chose yet another object of inspiration to achieve this flowing, supple form of 18/10 stainless steel that he is ever famous for. While his inspiration came in a similar vein as that of the Foix Tray (a crumpled paper foil) and the Sarria Basket (a misshapen felt hat), the Port Basket takes its form from a common cheesecloth, making it yet another beautiful piece to accompany the Foix Tray and Sarria Basket.
