This basket is shallower than I expected from the photos (about four inches deep), which I actually like. This makes it an excellent fruit bowl, as it forces the fruit to be spread out instead of sitting in tall piles and bruising what's underneath. It also doesn't require as much fruit to fill as I expected, allowing the fruit to be eaten and refilled often rather than just adding to the top pieces while the bottom spoils. The open structure of the bowl prevents moisture from being trapped, which helps prevent the fruit from rotting before it can be eaten. It's welded together nicely, and is a great size for a kitchen island or coffee table. It looks gorgeous and really highlights the color of the fruit it holds. Pricey, but worth it!

Blow Up
Alessi
Designer: Fratelli Campana
The Blow Up Collection
Newness, freshness and poetry dominate the aesthetic/constructive approach developed by the Campana brothers, Fernando and Humberto, for their Blow Up series, in which the form of the objects is created by the play of shapes and spaces generated by the steel rods put together almost at random. The theme is as recognisable here as it is in many of the designs by the talented Brazilian pair.
The Designer
Fratelli Campana
Humberto Campana, lawyer and Fernando Campana, architect, have been working together in San Paolo since 1983 in the field of artistic design. They came into the limelight in 1989 with the furniture exhibition provocatively entitled "Gli inconfortabili" (The Inconsolable), a political manifesto rather than functional objects. Their radical point of view is strengthened by the use of poor materials and industrial rubbish. Hand-made products represent the possibility of social redemption in a poor country. Their intention is, however, to find a way for Brazilian design, avoiding European colonisation. Some of their pieces appear in the International Design Year Book of 1997, edited by Philippe Starck. In 1998 the Moma in New York dedicated the "Progetto 66" exhibition to them, coupled with Ingo Maurer.
The company
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.
Alessigraphy: the geography of Alessi production
Since the Company's foundation in 1921 the majority of Alessi products have been manufactured through the cold working of metals, a tradition that is kept alive today by the skilled workers at the Crusinallo plant in Omegna.
Over time, Alessi also began to work with many other materials, such as porcelain, glass, wood, and plastic... A specific production method was developed for each one. Even when production takes place outside the Crusinallo plant, Alessi’s guidelines guarantee the company’s original production quality standards, continuing to reconcile industrial technological complexity with an artisanal eye for detail.
The objects produced from the different materials are manufactured in various production plants across the world. They remain original Alessi objects in that they are conceived with the same design excellence and produced with the same attention to quality that sets the company’s products apart.
