About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This is a porcelain object, designed by George Sowden and decorated by Nathalie Du Pasquier for Alessi Tendentse. The piece is a remarkable example of the collaboration between two founding members of the Memphis Group, embodying the playful and colorful spirit of this influential design movement.
Made in Germany from fine porcelain, this lidded vessel features a glossy white surface that serves as a canvas for Du Pasquier's characteristic decoration. The illustrations depict stylized birds and floral motifs in a vibrant palette of orange, blue, yellow, and black. The shape of the vessel, designed by Sowden, is bulbous and balanced, creating a contrast to the graphic boldness of the pattern.
This collectible item is in impeccable condition and comes with its original packaging, confirming its provenance and unused state. It is a testament to the postmodern era and Alessi's Tendentse collection, which aimed to blur the lines between art and industrial design.
As a standalone Decorative Object or as a functional part of tableware, this piece brings a touch of Italian design avant-gardism to any interior. It pairs particularly well with modern or eclectic furnishings and is a must-have for collectors of Memphis design.
