AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Alessi – Stefano Giovannoni – Pair of vintage containers with a tomato – 1998
Rare and original pair of Alessi containers, designed by Stefano Giovannoni in 1998.
The containers are made of translucent plastic in vivid yellow and green tones and feature a vertically grooved external surface.
The most distinctive element is the contrasting lids topped with a three-dimensional red tomato with a green stem, used as a handle. An ironic and immediately recognizable detail, fully representative of Stefano Giovannoni’s design language and Alessi’s design in the 1990s.
The translucent plastic and the special grooved finish create interesting light effects, making the containers very decorative even when not in use.
At the bottom of both pieces there is the original raised mark:
ALESSI
ITALY
STEFANO GIOVANNONI
1998
There is also the symbol for food contact.
Colors
One container in translucent yellow
One container in translucent green
Lids in contrasting colors
Red decorative tomatoes with green stems
Dimensions
Each container:
Height: 32 cm
Width: 12.2 cm
Depth: 9.5 cm
Weight: about 500 g
Total weight of the pair: about 1 kg
