Centrepiece in limewood. Colored foot, yellow.

SMALL MONUMENTS FOR GREAT DOMESTIC SETTINGS: With its majestic design, this centerpiece - consisting of a pedestal with a round base and a large bowl - is one of the Most Significant pieces designed by Ettore Sottsass for Alessi.

Evocative: The centrepiece proposes a structure dear to Sottsass, namely the overlapping of volumes and shapes of different sizes which thrust upwards, like “a tree with generous branches and roots firmly planted in the ground”.

Practical: It is perfect on the table thanks to its sculptural design and carefully calculated height, designed not to obstruct the view between diners.

Fascinating: With its incisive and powerful design, it is a small work of art capable of standing out in any domestic space.

Textural: The grains, knots and subtle differences that are typical of wood make each piece unique and distinct, satisfying all the senses in its use.
