The cartoon men created by the King-Kong team are a symbol and icon of mirror polished design based on the use of "affective codes", so much so that they are one of its most oft-cited examples.

The "standing men" have appeared on objects from the farthest corners of Alessi tradition, like trays and baskets, and then they multiplied, invaded and conquered other groups of objects - and not just in the kitchen and at the table.

An evocative lamp whose presence gives a touch of originality to the environment, creating a special atmosphere.

King-Kong

Stefano Giovannoni and Guido Venturini are the design team known as King Kong.
The designs that were first made were of a very straightforward tray which had its edges perforated with a little man motif, like the ones children cut out with scissors.

The Girotondo project went ahead without any particular hitches or special enthusiasm: nobody could have imagined this would become Alessi's best-selling tray!
This playful cartoon language made its mark on Alessi design in the early 90s.
