For Christmas, the Angels Band duo of figurines is just the thing for designer parties! Following the success of the Presepe cot, Massimo Ciacon created these figurines for Alessi. It revisits the world of porcelain figurines produced by 18th-century European factories. This pair of lovable angels is modern in shape and design, but traditional in style, with high-quality craftsmanship and hand-crafted decoration. These delicate, playful figurines are the perfect complement to the Presepe cot.
In 1921, Giovanni Alessi founded the Italian company Alessi. Since 1929, the company has focussed on producing nickel- or silver-plated copper tableware. When Carlo Alessi, Giovanni's son, was appointed design director in 1935, handcrafting methods were replaced by industrial manufacturing. In 1955, the company began collaborating with world-renowned architects and designers such as Richard Sapper, Ettore Sottsass, and later, Philippe Starck and Marcel Wanders. Alessi makes design accessible by focussing on useful, humorous and visually appealing home accessories. Most of its products have become design classics that are sold and exhibited around the world.
