Twergi ES16 jar $47.10

Description

Alessi's ES16 kitchen jar from the Twergi collection is an extraordinarily expressive storage jar created by the legendary Italian designer Ettore Sottsass. Shaped like a small totem, the beechwood lid ensures an airtight seal for flour, sugar, pasta or anything you like to store in a glass jar.

First launched in 1989, Alessi's Twergi collection consists of wooden objects inspired by the ancient tradition of woodturning. In Italy's woodwork-famous Strona Valley, the word "twergi" is local dialect for "elf". Elves were believed to be both mischief-makers and teachers, for example, in the craft of woodworking. Each item in the Twergi collection is made in Italy, with some parts crafted by hand on a lathe.

Ettore Sottsass

Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007) was an influential Italian designer and architect, who became famous for his colourful, modernist designs and experimental, radical attitude. He was one of the founders of the design group Memphis, and in 1980 he founded his own agency Sottsass Associati, which today has offices in London and Milan. Sottsass designed many products for the Italian design brand Alessi, and his works are included in the Alessi 100 Values Collection, which was launched to celebrate Alessi's centennial.
