Alessi NF08/38 20 Salad Bowl, Porcelain

Alessi Itsumo – Yunoki ware NF08/38 20 – Itsumo, which means “everyday and forever” in Japanese, is the new porcelain tableware set designed by Naoto Fukasawa. An obtuse angled curve, “Donkaku” in Japanese, becomes the distinctive feature of the service elements conceived by the author with particular attention to the tactile dimension, making the objects pleasant and interesting to touch, feel, and lightly brush with the fingers. The essential design of Itsumo is enriched by a decorated version, the result of collaboration with the centenarian artist Samiro Yunoki. The line of different elements designed by Naoto Fukasawa presents a minimalist aesthetic: a project that encapsulates all the attention to detail and poetry of Japanese culture. The two proposed versions, white and decorated, allow you to create a completely personal service. Everyone can create their own service by selecting elements from one version or the other, in a completely personal assortment. Two main factors make porcelain a sustainable and low-impact material: its resistance and composition. Porcelain is fired at a very high temperature and, consequently, is resistant and non-porous; even if it seems fragile, it possesses excellent solidity. All elements of the service can be used in the microwave, but traditional oven use is not recommended. Dishwasher safe, do not use abrasive cloths or detergents that can damage the surface.
