castiglioni fruit bowl with colander in limited edition copper

This Special Edition of the "AC04" fruit bowl/colander is Alessi's homage to an exceptional talent in the centenary of Achille Castiglioni's birth in 1918. Limited edition of 999 numbered copies.

With this design, an excellent and rare case of a new object made from fusing two classic household objects - fruit holder and colander - Achille Castiglioni won the "Young Creator of the Year" award from the Conseil National des Arts Culinaires de Paris in 1995. Castiglioni was 77 years of age at the time.

A creative genius with natural curiosity and a strong sense of irony, Achille Castiglioni was one of the masters of Italian design. Designed in 1995, this fruit bowl/colander is a perfect example of Castiglioni's ability to solve the little problems of dining though smart, functional innovation. This precious, limited series is made in stainless steel with an elegant copper color finish. Stainless steel copper color PVD coating and a stand in anthracite color aluminum. Colander in polished 18/10 stainless steel. This collector's piece is a must for admirers of an unforgettable designer.
