Inspired by drops of liquid metal, Valerio Sommella has designed the T-1000 spoon rest, that belongs to the collection Objects Bijoux. The name T-1000 is a clear reference to a character from the film Terminator who, made from liquid metal, is able to assume any form he wishes. Its particular shape, characterised by two concave parts, makes the object particularly practical, allowing you to rest more than one kitchen utensil at a time on it - a spoon and a ladle, for example. Dishwasher safe, the T-1000 is an essential kitchen accessory, perfect for keeping your utensils handy without having to dirty the worktop.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Metaproject designer, LPWK graduated from DAMS in Bologna. In 1989 she wrote “L’officina Alessi. Alberto Alessi and Alessandro Mendini: ten years of projects, 1980-1990”. In 1990, with Alberto Alessi and Alessandro Mendini, she founded the Alessi Study Center (CSA), a place of experimentation that involves professionals and young creatives from various disciplines. There, she conducted workshops and created innovative collections proposing the concept of metaproject. Since 2000 she continued her collaboration by founding and directing the LPWK Design Studio. She’s currently a visiting associate professor at Domus Academy and NABA.
Paolo Gerosa graduated in Industrial Design in 2005 at Politecnico di Milano, began his career in the "Centro Ricerche Baleri Italia", thus coming in touch with some of the world's leading design and creativity exponents. Subsequently he collaborated with Laura Polinoro LPWK Studio, dealing with product design and meta-design mainly for Alessi spa.

ABOUT ALESSI
For over a century, Alessi has been creating extraordinary objects that make people dream, feel, think and experience poetry in their daily lives. By collaborating with the best creative minds from around the world, Alessi brings the most unexpected and contemporary expressions of design culture into people’s homes.
The Italian company was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi and initially concentrated on metal kitchenware. His products and designs of coffee pots became so popular, that by 1924 the brand name ‘Alessi’ was well established.
By the 1950s the company broadened its approach, deciding to collaborate with well-known designers. The aim was to break away from modernism and even traditional designs and to try more unconventional design ideas, including those from groups such as Studio Alchima (Alessandro Mendini) and Memphis (Ettore Sottsass). Other designers associated with Alessi include Aldo Rossi, Philippe Starck and Michael Graves. The collaborative and creative approach they use has become the hallmark of the Alessi brand.
Alessi is now a B Corp, a company which strives to maximise the positive impact they have on their employees, the communities in which they operate and the environment, by using the business as a force for regeneration and sustainability.
