Product description
Description
The 90041 platter belongs to the Bauhaus Archiv series that forms part of the Officina Alessi catalogue. Alberto Alessi decided to include designs created in the studios of the famous German school, not least because of its character as a 'laboratory of applied art', a place where respect for art and the desire to create unusual, beautiful objects determines the style of work - a model to which Alessi's Italian 'Dream Factory' also aspires.
The designer Marianne Brandt was the only woman to work in the Bauhaus metal workshops. Initially coolly received by her co-workers (in the 1920s even artists found it hard to accept that a woman was doing 'male' work) she was charged with the least interesting commissions. However, the products she designed and produced meant that she quickly gained the recognition and respect of her co-workers.
The presented platter is characterised by its wide, gently sloping walls and the characteristic bulge in the centre. The simple bowl is made of polished, high-quality stainless steel - its only decoration is the shapes reflected in the mirror-like surface. Thanks to the ascetic character of the product, the platter, designed in 1928, remains a contemporary proposal that can enrich many modern interiors.
