Pierre Charpin, one of the leading figures in contemporary French design, has designed the PCH06/26 basket in 18/10 stainless steel for Alessi. It is part of the collection of refined baskets inspired by the trays in the galleries of the 18th and 19th centuries, reinterpreted in a more contemporary version. This everyday kitchen accessory is presented here in a sober, classic and elegant design to take its place in your kitchen or on a dining room table.
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.
