Glass double wall sugar castor in glass.
|
Lisa Vincitorio, the Australian designer who had previously designed the “Fruit Loop” fruit basket for Alessi, comes up with an encore with this amazing sugar castor, which struck us with its magical optical effect.
The initial idea was a very thick transparent container. Production possibilities from plastic to solid glass were considered and eventually we chose a double layered borosilicate glass container.
This solution gives the impression that the contents are floating inside a crystal bubble, giving a sensation of extreme lightness.
Every item is produced with lead oxide free glass and is entirely hand-made.
“Any small bubbles or other slight imperfections cannot be considered a fault, but a peculiarity typical of artistic manufacturing that makes every piece unique and different from the others.”
Refilling the castor is done through a hole in the base which is closed by a small transparent silicone cap.
