Marli Hook by Alessi

In the aboriginal language spoken by native Australians, marli means "butterfly". For Alessi, marli became a family of objects. An aerodynamic shape is combined with the plastic nature of the object. Little winged "marli" settles on a wall, holds keys, transforms, expands, wraps up and contains when it becomes a basket, for fruit, bread or biscuits...
Like the marli wall hook, Steven Blaess's coat hook is also made in a pressure-die cast zamak and subsequently chrome-plated. It is fixed to the wall with screws and raw plugs that are provided in the package. Due to its design characteristics it can be stuck to the wall in both the horizontal and vertical position.

Alessi Italian manufacturing soared to new heights in the 20^th century and one company is synonymous with this lofty ascent. Beginning with coffee sets and trays and by the 1950s collaborating with international architects and designers including Ettore Sottsass, Alessi gained international popularity with its first cult object designed by Richard Sapper in 1978. Linking the present to the past, Sapper designed an espresso coffee pot. Philippe Starck was soon to follow with the Juicy Salif lemon squeezer, which has found its way into the Whitney Collection in New York. In fact, Alessi products can be found in museums across the world. Innovation and experimentation are two keys to understanding Alessi’s success.
