The La Stanza dello Scirocco product series is the fruit of the work of Sicilian designer Mario Trimarchi. In designing the platters, baskets and bowls in this collection, he was inspired by the magical atmosphere of the rooms in old Sicilian houses, which are used to wait for the hot and dry Scirocco south wind to die down, bringing with it dust clouds of sand from the Sahara. These rooms usually have no windows and often only a single light source. Mario Trimarchi's designs are therefore based on a play of light and shadow, and the form of the vessel presented here recalls the instability and force of erosion resulting from the element. The objects included in the collection have been made from different sized, rectangular pieces of steel, forming the desired forms. The austere, geometric shapes of the platter presented here catch the eye and spread an abstract, mysterious aura around it. Ideal for serving fruit or bread, the platter can also become a unique decoration for a minimalist-style living or dining room, especially as it is available in white and black and in polished steel.
