About the series
Ovale, considered for the table
The polished stainless steel gives the broad oval surfaces a soft luminosity and allows the simple proportions to remain the central visual feature.
Alessi treats everyday tableware as a meeting point between Italian industrial production, craft knowledge and the ideas of internationally recognised designers. The result is a broad design culture in which familiar household objects are reconsidered through proportion, material and expressive form.
