la cintura di orione saucepan
Design Richard Sapper, 1986
Copper, 18/10 stainless steel
Made in Italy by Alessi
A long-handled saucepan made of a bilaminate of thick copper plate, ensuring perfect heat conduction, encased in a thin layer of stainless steel that ensures maximum hygiene and facilitates cleaning without affecting the copper's excellent temperature conduction properties. This saucepan pan is perfect for braising and stewing, especially for smaller cuts of food, as well as for preparing sauces or gravies that don't require mixing or which are cooked while covered, as with bolognese sauce.
The project "La Cintura di Orione" is dedicated to the "private gourmet", namely those enthusiasts of intelligent and creative cooking. Most pieces of the La Cintura collection are produced in special dual lamina (outside extra thick copper + inside in 18/10 mirror polished stainless steel), which offers a more professional performance and allows the advantages of copper as far as conduction and homogeneous distribution of heat are concerned. These features are paired with extremely hygienic stainless steel inside.
Born in Munich in 1932, Richard Sapper studied philosophy, anatomy, graphics, engineering and economics. Ten times winner of the Compassi d'Oro, his prime interest is the design of technically complex objects, from ships to watches.

Richard Sapper
Richard Sapper designed the Tizio lamp for Artemide, one of the best selling lamps ever produced. In 1978 Alessi commissioned Sapper with the first product in a long series to come, the stove-top espresso maker 9090.
Alessi was founded in 1921 to produce crafted metal accessories for the kitchen. Alberto Alessi launched Alessi into high design through collaborations with designers like Philippe Starck and his Juicy Salif citrus squeezer.
