Mediterraneo by Emma Silvestris for Alessi 

Emma, jewellery designer by trade, let her imagination loose on the submarine world, transferring the weightlessness of its inhabitants into cut and moulded metal – an audacious but successful oxymoron.

The extraordinary success of the “Mediterraneo” Fruit holder by Emma Silvestris in 2006 drove Alessi to explore the potential for expanding this icon into new types of products: Kitchen roll Holder, Paper napkin holder, Napkin ring and Tealight Holders.

The successful and iconic design family named “Mediterraneo”, created by Emma Silvestris in cooperation with Laura Polinoro, has been translated into new types of kitchen utensils (jars and a hook) and bathroom items (all-purpose container, soap dish, and toothbrush holder).

All the objects are in 18/10 stainless steel mirror polished, or in steel coloured with a backed-on coating of epoxy resins, red.
