This is the 'Chiringuito' cocktail shaker, an iconic design by the Israeli-British designer Ron Arad for the Italian brand Alessi. The piece is an excellent example of Arad's sculptural approach to everyday objects, where functionality and artistic form converge.
The shaker is crafted from high-gloss polished 18/10 stainless steel, ensuring a durable and mirrored finish. The design is characterized by its dynamic, twisted shape and the unique ring-shaped handle on the lid. The set is complete with an integrated strainer, which has a striking blue plastic handle. This design was originally introduced in 1995 and is a sought-after item among collectors of postmodern design.
The overall condition of the cocktail shaker is very good, retaining its original luster. The stainless steel shows a character consistent with careful use and age, without significant damage. The three-part construction, consisting of the cup, the lid with strainer, and the stirring spoon, is fully functional.
With its striking silhouette, this cocktail shaker is not only a practical bar instrument but also a decorative object that adds a touch of Italian design to a bar cabinet, sideboard, or modern kitchen. It is a statement piece that fits well into a design-oriented or minimalist interior.
