Overview

Design by Eero Aarnio, 2011.
By Alessi.

For over half a century, and with great consistency, Eero Aarnio has designed brightly colored objects for the home with rounded, geometric shapes. His "Aroma" Mortar & Pestle is made of creamy white stoneware, yet reflects the designers iconic style in its rounded form, thick body and cylindrical pedestal.

Eero Aarnio has given this ancient, essential tool a makeover with smooth, polished curves. The ergonomic pestle features a rounded, polished handle with a matte finish at the end for more effective crushing, grinding and mixing.

Alessi. Art and Poetry.

Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.

"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto Alessi
