Overview
Design by Achille Castiglioni, 1997.
By Alessi.
Crisp and simple, with an uncluttered composition, Bavero Dinnerware in white is an elegant palette for both casual and formal dining. By folding the edges of the plates downward, Castiglioni's design of this everyday object was both simple and courageous.
Alessi's TAC1/1 - Bavero Flat Plate is made of white porcelain.

Excellent dinnerware!
By: Philip D., Architect
Beautifully designed dinnerware with an interlocking design that makes the pieces look beautiful when stacked together. Makes for a beautiful table. I purchased to fill out a set I have owned for over 10 years and they have performed great, cannot tell the 10 year old ones from the new ones.

Designer: Achille Castiglioni
Born in Milan (1918-2002), he started work as an architect and designer with his brothers Livio and Pier Giacomo in 1938. One of the great masters of Italian design, he was a founding member of ADI in the fifties. The long list of awards he has received include eight Compassi d'Oro. His activity as a designer is an unmistakable blend of simplicity, irony and fun and its shows his close interest in the way objects are used, in the potential offered by technology and in the use of new materials.

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
