merdolino limited edition gold toilet brush
by S. Giovannoni from Alessi
merdolino limited edition gold toilet brush
Design Stefano Giovannoni, 1993
Thermoplastic resin with PVD coating, gold
Made by Alessi
Part of a collection presented in 1992 that scandalized design prudes, this pretty lavatory brush was the champion of the redemption of its type, for the first time considered by the design world. Re-proposed in an all-golden form, it has become a paradoxical object par excellence: it contradicts current logic, surprising with its oddity, and becomes an art object dedicated to collectors.
A useful household tool with added great looks. The Merdolino gold is a limited edition of 999 numbered copies and features thermoplastic resin with a PVD coating in gold.
