Alessi "Tripod" Chrome Adjustable Element Trivet
The Alessi Tripod Trivet is not just practical it will also look great on your table. It's designed to be hung on a hook in the kitchen and then grabbed and thrown on the table like dice. The Tripod Trivet allows you to rest objects that vary in diameter from a coffee maker to a pot. This trivet can be arranged anyway you like to suit your needs.
Founded in 1921 as a “Workshop for the processing of brass and nickel silver sheet metal, with foundry”, Alessi has always stood out for the high quality of its products. In almost a century of history, the company has gradually evolved to become one of the leading “Factories of Italian design”, capable of applying its expertise and excellence in design management to many different product types. Open to change and international development, Alessi at the same time has a strong bond with the traditions and cultural background of its area and continues to be synonymous with handcrafted objects produced with the help of machines.
Alessi’s mission is now one of translating its quest for the most advanced cultural, aesthetic, design and functional quality into mass production. Designer products are the result of the constant reconciliation of art and industry, of the “Immensity of Creative Potential” and the needs of the market. The company is committed to a design approach in which the most advanced expression of international creativity is always balanced against the desires of the general public. Alessi has been described as a “Dream Factory”, which uses its products to make people’s dreams come true, providing them with the Art and Poetry that they seek.
This trivet by young designer Gabriele Chiave almost looks like jewelry. It's designed to be hung on a hook in the kitchen and then grabbed and thrown on the table like dice. Once the little stars have been suitably arranged on the table, they form a base on which to support a pot, an oven dish, or a serving plate. There's a remarkable contrast between the functionality of the humble trivet and the possibilities for liberation offered by this design's innovation and playfulness.
