Round ‘Foix’ Tray by Lluís Clotet for Alessi:

A gorgeous round tray from the ‘Foix’ collection — part of the ‘Babel’s Table’ series — that was issued by ALESSI as a Limited Edition piece in 1994.

This vintage piece was created by renowned Catalan architect and designer Lluís Clotet, and is made of stainless steel covered with a baked-on coating of coloured epoxy resins. It is very large and has a smooth centre and the rim is constructed with uneven surfaces that give it a a crumpled/ruffled effect. It has a flat matte finish with a bit of shine, and is a silvery-champagne colour. It is named after Catalan poet Josep Vicenc Foix (1893-1987). Stunning and original piece.

DIMENSIONS: 44 cm diameter, 3 cm high.

CONDITION: Excellent. New and unused.

SHIPPING: The boxed tray will be carefully wrapped and re-boxed with a tracking code.
