Alessi La Stanza Scirocco Bowl troika keyring The Vitra - Nuage céramique

The Vitra - Nuage céramique vase by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec is characterised by an almost organic base shape that is reminiscent of a cloud

It is a room without windows in which you can do nothing but ponder the wind that is undoing all sublunary things outside

the poetic sound of boats' sirens at River Rhine: this is because the melody that accompanies the vapour outlet must be pleasant and not anxious like the whistle of boilers

Design: Fernando and Humberto Campana

The theme is as recognizable here as it is in many of the designs by the talented Brazilian pair

Alessi La Stanza Scirocco Bowl troika keyring The Vitra - Nuage céramiqueThe shapes created by Mario Trimarchi derive from the composition of a rectangular module in stainless steel. Made by folding sheet metal, previously laser cut, and in some cases welded together to ensure greater solidity. Through the geometric piercing of the interstices between the elements, the light created a magical effect of lights and shadows. Design: Mario Trimarchi, 2009 for Alessi Italy. Approximate size: 10. 8" x 10" x h. 5"
