Manufacturer's Description
A di Alessi products are the result of longstanding collaborations with the best international designers. Working from a desire to introduce the public at large to the quality and exclusivity of the finest contemporary design, they have created a line of "democratic" and accessible products for every home.
"Cico" (2000) is another example of Giovannoni’s figurative, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic narrative approach.
Stefano Giovannoni started working for Alessi in 1989 with his fellow Florentine, Guido Venturini as the "King-Kong" partnership. From then on he has designed for the Alessi 2001 production, developing into one of the most admired designers in Italy. His playful expressions found a great empathy when Alessi stressed the technical envelope in quality plastic products. He’s the designer of our famous "Merdolino" toilet brush, the fruit "Mama" and "Mary Biscuit" box. He has also created steel pans such as the Alessi "Mami" which show his talent in designing interesting products even when confronted with straight criteria presented in these different technical areas.
"A ‘born again’ designer par excellence, bearing a vague resemblance to a rumpled teddy bear, a man who looks like he might be anything except a much-acclaimed designer, Stefano conceals one of the most explosive talents I have ever had the good fortune to come across. He’s not happy to be classified as ‘one of the young’, he feels he is destined for the designer hall of fame, and he wants to have his share of acclaim with ‘masters’. He’ll no doubt get there, even if he is a little grizzly and impatient at times. - Alberto Alessi, The Dream Factory
Customer Reviews
Eggs ellent start to the day (2007-02-05)  Got two of these little blue men recently both coming free with purchases over £20.00 (I think)They come in a range of colours so there is a colour suited to most peoples kitchens I would think.Really are quite good, especially as the hats are salt containers, so no more "Where's the salt?"Brilliant idea that they come with spoons, so that everything is all in one place in the cupboard (no more rushing about to find a little spoon).They look good on the kitchen table or on a shelf when not being used.A big hint now they also look good on a breakfast tray!Only downside though is that they are not dishwasher proof. (My dishwasher doesn't seem to like egg on metal spoons anyway, so I usually end up handwashing them anyhow.A cheap way of starting an Alessi collection, but also a practical item, buy one instead of an Easter Egg, less fattening, but still nice to look at.
