Alessi - Claudia Raimondo - 水果盘 - Joy n. 1 - 用环氧树脂着色的钢，超级黑色。

Note: shipments of the auction will be send last week of September (week 40).

The Alessi centrepiece "Joy n1," conceived by Claudia Raimondo in 2013, epitomizes elegance and modernity in design. Crafted from steel using a sophisticated and contemporary moulding technique, the piece captivates with its striking form and intricate decoration. Raimondo ingeniously employs the very faces of the object to define its shape, resulting in a large, open structure with ethereal edges that evoke the allure of handmade treasures in precious metals. The interplay of reflections on its surface conjures a mesmerizing effect, akin to the delicate craftsmanship of artisanal creations.

"Joy n1" stems from the fusion of Raimondo's innovative vision and Alessi's dedication to exploring the essence of object design. Embodied in "Joy n.1," the centrepiece boasts embossed sides and an irregular, jagged rim, meticulously crafted through cold-moulding techniques from a single steel plate. This irregular texture not only adds depth but also plays with light, evoking the mastery of silversmiths and infusing the piece with a sense of timeless beauty.

Alberto Alessi about the ‘’Joy n1’’ bowl:
‘’The texture of ‘’Joy n1’’ evokes the backgrounds of the digital world and reinterprets steel by playing on the elusiveness of the design, which makes the object look like something smooth and natural even if it crystallised into a solid matter.’’

This centrepiece is new and has never been used. Delivered with original packaging and manuals.
