Offered and sold as a striking pair, these large-format Alessi trays are from the celebrated Girotondo (also known as King-Kong) series. Instantly recognisable by the playful ring of stylised cut-out figures the iconic little men motif, this design became one of Alessis most successful and enduring contemporary classics.

Notes for Collectors

The Girotondo series is one of Alessis most commercially successful postmodern-era designs, embodying the brands philosophy of combining functional domestic objects with playful, sculptural form. The black finish examples are particularly graphic and visually bold, especially in this larger 40 cm size.
