For the Girotondo tray the two King-Kong designers – Stefano Giovannoni and Guido Venturini – chose an extremely basic shape, wanting to work exclusively on the decoration. So they pierced the edge of the steel tray with a motif of little men, like the ones children make with scissors, a cheerful and playful design that continues to be a great success.

The 9091 kettle has a melodic brass whistle with a new shape, made up of two small pipes in which choristers are inserted which reproduce the notes E and B. Richard Sapper created it inspired by a childhood memory, the poetic sound of the sirens of the boats on the Rhine river: because the melody that accompanies the release of the steam must be pleasant, not anxiety-provoking like the typical whistle of kettles. The 9091 kettle is a multi-sensorial object, which will not interrupt a pleasant pause with a whistle, but with an enveloping melody.
The Girotondo perforated basket is an icon of the Alessi catalogue. The creative duo King-Kong, Stefano Giovannoni and Guido Venturini, created the motif of the little men chasing each other in a merry-go-round, hence the name of the collection: a fretwork with an immediate and evocative language, which finds space on everyday objects.
