This Alessi Programma 8 condiment set, designed by Franco Sargiani and Eija Helander in 1975, is an icon of 1970s Italian design. The Programma 8 line is renowned for its modular and rationalist approach to tableware, offering an elegant and functional solution for serving oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Made in Italy, the set combines clear glass, polished 18/10 stainless steel, and black plastic components. The rectangular steel tray features a contoured black insert that holds the four cylindrical containers perfectly in place. The liquid dispensers feature convenient spouts and dispensing buttons, while the spice jars feature calibrated holes. The set includes the original instruction manuals, adding to its collector's value.
The set is in excellent condition, retaining its structural integrity and original charm. The steel maintains its polished finish and the glass is free of clouding, a testament to careful care over time.
Perfect for a minimalist dining room or to enhance a contemporary kitchen with a touch of design history. This set is not only a practical tool, but also a true conversation piece that blends harmoniously into modern or midcentury-inspired spaces.
