David Chipperfield for Alessi

The beautiful Alessi Tonale line is designed by Architect David Chipperfield.

I have just discovered these objects, and immediately love them! David Chipperfield explains: "This collection was inspired by vernacular ceramics from korea, japan, and china, and conceived as an exercise in refining functional household objects. the name “tonale” refers to Giorgio Morandi’s use of color tonality imbuing his daily objects with a sense of individuality."
