Alessi Plissé Toaster
For palates that like it hot... Piccantino created by LPWK et Jim Hannon-Tan is a Chilli scruncher to use in the kitchen or on the table and brings to mind the famous red chilli-shaped good luck charm from Naples. In delicate, biological design it unites two very different senses: the tender softness of transparent rubber and the hard elegance of polished steel. It was conceived to solve the problem this irritating spice presents of coming into direct contact with the skin and mucous membranes. When gentle pressure is applied on the rubber container, red pepper gets broken into small pieces without the fingers coming in contact. It can be a gift; a small, precious object for connoisseurs of spicy food… and like chilli itself: it goes just about anywhere. Gift boxed. Height: 9cm, Width: 3cm.
You can count on Alessi for form, function and fun. Established in 1921, Alessi strive to bring design dreams to life in a way that enlivens emotion for the end user. The Italy-based brand takes ordinary everyday objects and elevates them to iconic status – the whistle of the stove-top kettle takes shape as a singing bird, whilst the Salif citrus squeezer has earned cult status owing to its retro-future tripod design. From a quirky homeware gift to an elegant kitchen utensil or tool, Alessi’s well-designed pieces bring contemporary Italian design, and a touch of humour, to the home.
