Alessi
This sugar bowl is one of the first projects in the large and successful collection of items designed for Alessi by American designer and architect Michael Graves. Graves's very personal visual code is evident here in a series of influences that range from art-deco and pop art to the language of cartoons. Thanks to this incredible design approach, the items in this collection became internationally recognized icons of the 1980s and 1990s design.

Carlo Alessi was born in Granerolo (Verbania) in 1916, studied technical design at the OMAR institute in Novara, and, at an early age worked in the metal workshop set up by his father, Giovanni, in 1921. From the mid-thirties until the mid-forties, he designed many Alessi works including the “Ottagonale”, “Scalini”, “Cylindrical” and “Bombé'” series. In the fifties, he became managing director of the company bringing with him a new international dimension, and began working with new external designers. He was president of Alessi S.P.An until 2009 when he passed away.

Sugar bowl in EPSS with handle and knob in applewood. Designed in 1945, this service was first produced in chrome-plated and silver-plated heavy brass, and later in stainless steel. “The Bombé service is very much a product of the postwar sociocultural climate, and as such it's a specific phenomenon of the design and customs that are associated with the first age of Italian design, with walnut furniture, the curves of the Vespa, the Isetta bubble car, the first Arflex armchairs, and the typewriters designed by Marcello Nizzoli for Olivetti. Seen through modern eyes, it also suggests pop art and there are clear references to a “rounded” morphological history of the coffee maker, from Christopher Dresser onwards.” (Alessandro Mendini).
The clean, geometric forms in Aldo Rossi's designs, a constant presence in many of his architectural designs, are transformed into real objects to be touched and used, becoming icons of the 1980s household landscape.

Blomus
Creamer is functional for every occasion. Beautifully shaped yet humble enough to act as a discreet backdrop to the perfectly arranged meal. Start setting the table with your unique color combinations. Stacks beautifully for in-cabinet storage. Outside of stoneware is matte. The inside serving area is glazed for design compliments and easy cleaning. The stoneware is manufactured from clay, quartz, and minerals such as calcite and is defined as a ceramic product. The stoneware is molded at very high temperatures using casting techniques. The high temperatures during the firing process make stoneware more stable than clay and less translucent than porcelain. Due to the heating and glazing processes of stoneware, these pieces may have slightly different attributes that can add to their beauty and uniqueness.
Michael Aram
The collection celebrates the representation of flora as fauna. Michael's fascination with a particular type of ginkgo tree, the Ginkgo Biloba, or "Butterfly Ginkgo", which grows with a double leaf reminiscent of a butterfly's wings, gave rise to a fantasia image of the plant. Executed at the highest level of handcraftsmanship, each piece is rendered in solid brass with hand-etched cocoon-shaped vessels. The pieces in the collection are a tour de force of the handcrafted process, capturing the poetic spirit that is so deeply indicative of Michael's work. "The first time I saw this tree, it looked like it had been completely overtaken by butterflies... as if they would all take flight the moment I walked too close or made a noise. The idea that the leaves could evoke the beauty of butterflies was magical to me, like trees that can metamorphose from flora to fauna in the blink of an eye.
The Kumi ceramic creamer is the perfect accessory to the Kumi range. The Kumi tabletop range features typical Japanese shapes in natural colors, and in addition to typical tabletop items, also includes traditional Japanese items such as a small bowl for soy sauce and the characteristic tea mug without a handle. Kumi is created with the Japanese process of reactive glazing, which comes out differently with every firing and reacts to the slightest variations of oxygen in the kiln. True to the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi, in which beauty is found only in the imperfect, the pieces will feature slight variances such as dots or irregularities which are part of the reactive glazing process. These characteristics of each piece are considered traits of the object's personality and lend to its sophistication. Colors complement one another beautifully and can be mixed for a stunning presentation. Kumi is a Japanese word meaning eternal beauty.
