Vintage Alessi Lluis Clotet `Port` & `Sarria` round basket set, stainless steel, 2001 & 2000, Italian.
These items have been gently cleaned while respecting the vintage patina and are ready to use.
Pair of vintage round baskets by Lluis Clotet: the `Port` (large) model 90085 is dated 2001 and the `Sarria`(smaller) model 90084 is dated 2000.
Lluis Clotet is especially active in architecture and has made a number of interesting designs of objects. Fascinated by the playful crumpling of a tray in silver paper he reproduced the effect in a successful mini-series of trays & baskets, in which the crumpled edge is achieved using a complex technique of cold-pressing in a single operation. These examples are executed in quality 18/10 stainless steel with a polished mirrored smooth finish.
The Port bowl is stamped at back: "ALESSI ITALY INOX 18/10 LLUIS CLOTET 2001"
The Sarria bowl is stamped at back: "ALESSI INOX 18/10 ITALY LLUIS CLOTET 2000"
These bowls are overall in very good vintage condition. The surfaces are smooth and very reflective, with a light vintage patina present in line with age & wear, such as a few superficial tiny marks and some rubbing in the bottom areas.
Additional dimensions:
The `Porto` bowl dimensions are: Height: 6 cm, Width: 37 cm, Depth: 37 cm.
The `Sarria` bowl dimensions are: Height: 6.5 cm, Width: 27.5 cm, Depth: 27.5 cm.
