Description
Alessi’s ES15 centrepiece bowl from the Twergi collection is an extraordinarily expressive wooden bowl created by the legendary Italian designer Ettore Sottsass. Shaped like a small totem, this monumental limewood centrepiece is composed of a painted pedestal and a large bowl that can be used for serving fruits and sweets or storing and displaying small items.
First launched in 1989, Alessi’s Twergi collection consists of wooden objects inspired by the ancient tradition of woodturning. In Italy’s woodwork-famous Strona Valley, the word “twergi” is local dialect for “elf”. Elves were believed to be both mischief-makers and teachers, for example, in the craft of woodworking. Each item in the Twergi collection is made in Italy, with some parts crafted by hand on a lathe.
