MGIR01 - Spettro Paper Clip Holder
Overview
Design by Matthieu Girel (ECAL), 2012.
By Alessi.
Under the guise of a UFO, the cone-shaped Spettro magnetically captures paper clips, hiding them from sight. Second year design student Matthiew Girel created this clever office tool as part of a workshop organized by the students of Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne (ECAL). Made of thermoplastic resin and aluminum, Spettro is available in a cheerful Yellow or a modest Light Grey.
For over twenty years Alessi has dedicated part of their activities to joint projects with international design schools and universities, offering decades of experience while receiving new energies and innovative interpretations of the material world in return.

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
