The Alessi 'Chimu' bowl, designed by Joanna Lyle in 1992, is a striking example of postmodern Italian design. This specific model combines a playful, crown-like rim with a sleek, semi-circular shape, making it a recognizable and sought-after object for lovers of contemporary design. Crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, the bowl rests on three distinctive conical feet. These feet are a refined combination of aluminium and wood, offering a warm contrast to the cool metal of the bowl. The bowl has a diameter of 26 cm and a height of 13.5 cm, with a capacity of 350 cl. The design is clearly marked with the Alessi logo and the inscription 'Inox 18/10 Italy' on the underside. The object is in good condition, commensurate with its age and use. The original finish of the steel and wooden details has been preserved, contributing to the authentic character of this early 1990s design. This bowl functions excellently as a sculptural centerpiece on a dining table or sideboard. The design fits seamlessly into both minimalist and more eclectic interiors, where it serves as a functional work of art and a conversation starter.
