la stanza dello scirocco centerpiece
Design Trimarchi Mario, 2009
18/10 stainless steel
Made in Italy by Alessi
"La Stanza dello Scirocco" is a range of items born out of the abstract and motionless atmosphere of a magic place: the room in large Sicilian country homes where one is forced to seek shelter from the sultriness while waiting for the sirocco to die down. It is a room without windows in which you can do nothing but ponder the wind that is undoing all sublunary things outside. The upshot is a collection of geometrically irregular items made up of small splinters of various sizes, interlaced in an unstable balance. And so I came up with the idea that "La Stanza dello Scirocco" could be recounted through the story of drawings done by hand and through images of shadows, and that we could then ask everyone to exert themselves ever so slightly and make a small input with their own imaginations." -Mario Trimarchi
La Stanza dello Scirocco centerpiece is offered in 18/10 mirror polished stainless steel.
16.5" L | 14.75" w | 6" h
(in-stock items usually ship in 1-2 business days. Otherwise, please allow approximately 3 weeks for delivery.)

Alessi was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi to produce crafted metal products for eating and drinking. In 1935, Carlo Alessi, son of Giovanni, was named chief designer. In 1945, he ascended to chief executive and designed the coffee service Bombe, an industrial piece manufactured in four sizes. That same year Carlo's younger brother, Ettore Alessi, joined the company as a technician. By the 1980s, Alberto Alessi took over the management of Alessi and launched the Alessi company into the design decade through collaborations with designers such as Philippe Starck and his playful three-legged Juicy Salif citrus squeezer.
