To celebrate over 5 years of collaboration, Alessi and the Campana brothers now present the Blow up – Bamboo collection. These iconic pieces, available only in stainless steel until now, are now presented in a new version made of hand-finished natural material. This shift from cold to warm material reveals not only a new design concept that emphasises manual skills, but also winks at the Campanas’ and Alessi’s modus operandi.
Re-invisaged in bamboo!? The original designs are iconic but I wonder if they would have experimented with dowel in the first place? Bamboo is a brilliant sustainable material (being the fastest growing on the planet) but this does feel like a cheap tactic to move into the sustainable realm.
