A prime example of contemporary Italian design: the sculptural wire bowl "Marli" by Alessi. Designed in 2009 by Australian designer Steven Blaess in collaboration with the Laura Polinoro Workshop (LPWK), the dynamic, asymmetrical structure of bent, highly polished stainless steel creates a captivating interplay of light and shadow, depending on the viewing angle. This object serves not only as a functional fruit or bread bowl, but truly shines as a striking centerpiece and work of art in modern living spaces.
