This magnetic christmas tree was designed by Boucquillon & Maaoui in 2017. The magnetic decorations can be used to adorn and personalise the tree with photographs, Christmas cards or other items, turning “Bark for Christmas” into a poetic repository for cherishing precious souvenirs and memories. This is an object with a highly expressive design which enhances any room where it is displayed. Ideal for those who are loath to give up the ritual of decorating the home for Christmas, and keen to create a festive mood even without a traditional Christmas tree.

This “Bark for Christmas” tree is in a new and unused condition. Delivered with original packaging and manual.

Offered as a set comprising a steel tree and seven magnetic decorations produced in glass with a polished finish. Each magnet has a scratch proof protection designed to maintain the tree's polished surface. The tree is perfectly stable, thanks to the large oval base designed to accommodate a tealight or small Christmas decorations

This tree was produced at the factory in Crusinallo, Omegna, the “Bark for Christmas” tree, demonstrates Alessi's skill in processing steel. “Bark for Christmas” is produced with a cutting and laser perforating process on the steel sheet, which is subsequently shaped.


Michel Boucquillon & Donia Maaoui:
Born in Belgium in 1962. In 1988 he won the competition of the chamber of European Parliament in Brussels which signed the beginning of his Architectural and Design career. Designed by Michel Boucquillon and Donia Maaoui, the “Bark” collection was inaugurated in 2015. The designers drew their inspiration from their home, Casa Boucquillon: it is a place for experimentation, meditation and work where they can live in synch with nature. The perforated pattern of the “Bark” range recalls the bark on the trees that surround the house. Michel actually works for the world most famous International Design companies: Alessi, Artemide, Antonio Lupi, Ferragamo, Serralunga. His work is present in several Museums and got many of the main international Awards, recently: Menzione d’Onore Compasso d’Oro 2011, Good Design Award 2008, Design Plus 2006. Donia Maaoui, Michel’s wife and an architect herself, works alongside her husband on some of the Alessi and Martinelliluce projects, although her principal occupation is cast bronze sculpture and painting.
