La Stanza dello Scirocco Basket

18/10 stainless steel Mirror polished Designed by Mario Trimarchi Dimensions: 9.75" x 9.25" x 2.5"H The Alessi La Stanza dello Scirocco Basket is a unique 18/10 stainless steel basket designed to resemble cards blowing and scattering in the wind. "La Stanza dello Scirocco" is a range of items born out of the abstract and motionless atmosphere of a magic place: the room in large Sicilian country homes where one is forced to seek shelter from the sultriness while waiting for the sirocco (hot wind) to die down. It is a room without windows in which you can do nothing but ponder the wind that is undoing all sublunary things outside. The upshot is a collection of geometrically irregular items made up of small splinters of various sizes, interlaced in an unstable balance. Alessi has been manufacturing beautiful, Italian-made household products since 1921. These stylish, contemporary creations are the result of strong partnerships with some of the world's best designers of unique, modern home decor and accessories. Care: Handwash recommended. Do not expose to wetness for prolonged periods.
