Alessi “Tundra” Round Stainless Steel Trivet, Italy, 2003 Designed by Kristina Lassus for Alessi, this circular trivet is part of the Centro Studi Alessi “Progetto Creolo / Memory Containers” series. Crafted in polished 18/10 stainless steel, it features precise cutouts arranged in a geometric layout. The piece combines industrial precision with restrained decorative abstraction characteristic of early-2000s Italian design.
