Mr. & Mrs. Chin Salt and pepper set by A di Alessi

For the A di Alessi line, Stefanno Giovannoni and his long time collaborator Rumiko Takeda sign the irresistible Chin Family with stylized oriental characters each of which represent a specific household function. The result is a fresh, joyful and refined set of objects I'd certainly like to have in my family. "Mr. Chin" is a new chapter in the ludic design language that characterises Stefano's work: instead of the usual method of casting a single piece of plastic from a single injection, the character-objects are made with separate moulds (head, hat, body, foot, pompom) which are then assembled like wooden soldiers or porcelain dolls, thereby giving greater articulation to the typical wit and refinement of Giovannoni's decorations of the clothes, which are hand-painted.

A di Alessi is a bold and unique move to make everyday items affordable and accessible to a generation of shoppers who increasingly desire design in their daily life.
