The Alessi Helmut fruit basket, designed by Cecilia Cassina in 1992, is a striking example of early 1990s Italian design. This piece combines sculptural presence with functional elegance and reflects the distinctive design language of the renowned Alessi brand.
Made of high-quality, polished stainless steel (18/10), the basket captivates with its silver, mirrored surface. The construction features precisely laser-cut perforations that create a dynamic pattern of lines, dots, and curved shapes. These perforations lend the solid material a visual lightness and allow for optimal air circulation for the stored fruit. Its Italian origin is documented by the stamp on the underside.
The fruit basket is in very good condition and displays the well-maintained character typical of its age. The polished surface has retained its original luster, highlighting the high-quality craftsmanship of the stainless steel.
This design object blends seamlessly into modern, minimalist, or postmodern-inspired interiors. It not only serves as a practical storage place in the kitchen or on the dining table, but also functions as an independent, decorative element that creates light reflections in the room.
