6 Alessi Mediterraneo Objects You'll Never Want to Put Away

By Axel W.

Alessi has demonstrated countless times, and most particularly in the Mediterraneo collection, how a fine design adapts easily to numerous items. Here, they run the gamut from salad bowls to tooth brush holders. Take a look...

A kitchen box needs a hermetic lid to keep things sealed for safety and purity. But it need not be a bland container. The Alessi Mediterraneo design raises this ordinary object to a piece of fine decor for your counter. The mirror polished stainless steel lid both seals to perfection and provides a finishing touch of beauty to this stellar item.

This design motif is so flexible it works perfectly not just with containers but with utensils, as well. The Mediterraneo Salad Set is an excellent example. The tendrils are pierced into the salad mixing spoon. They form the tines in the fork. That functional incorporation of the design is so seamless you can't imagine these items without it. The result? A perfect pair of kitchen tools that you'll want to leave out of the drawer.

That same pair of values are incorporated into the Alessi Mediterraneo Napkin Holder. Whether done in polished stainless steel or lovely red epoxy, the open design lets your napkin pattern show through. At the same time, you have a decorative object for the table that you'll never want to put away. As a centerpiece for your dining room table, this item is unsurpassed.

Even something as mundane as wall hooks can be made into hanging works of art. The tendrils that are intrinsic to the Mediterraneo design form the perfect structural element for these essential home items. The polished stainless steel ensures both solidity and zero risk of staining your clothes. At the same time, the complete integration of material and form give you an object you'll proudly display.

Let that same effect diffuse into your bathroom. The Mediterraneo Cup Holder offers an open, airy design that complements rather than overwhelms. The branches form sturdy sides while the tendrils top off the holder. The combination is once again an ideal blending of the practical and the beautiful, an Alessi hallmark.

Then, of course, there is the Mediterraneo toothbrush holder mentioned at the outset. How many times have you endured a boring design in this little item? Break free and embrace an organic look that brings a smile to your face every time you use it.

Wherever you look in your home you find opportunities to satisfy a functional need with a decorative item. Integrate those goals with Alessi's Mediterraneo theme and bring the region's sunshine into your world. Let Alessi show you how.
