Territoire intime Tray - Alessi

With the « Territoire » project, matali crasset presents two trays in different sizes and colours, with the aim of creating a play of colour and composition left to one's personal taste and preferences. « Territoire », the larger tray in the shape of an irregular hexagon and « Territoire intime, » the smaller pentagon-shaped piece, are made ??of polished 18/10 stainless steel and coloured steel. The choice of colour is deliberate and dictated by the designer: Yellow Sand for the hexagon-shaped piece, Terracotta for the pentagonal version. The « Territoire » and « Territoire intime » trays can be showcased on their own or paired together to create a vibrant combination of lines and geometric surfaces. My inspiration was a line, like a shoreline. A line determines where it can be placed, A raised line allows the tray to be handled, A winding line like an irregular territory, life having patterned its path. A cosy, warm, watchful and ethereal space in a neutral and numbing metal realm. A space for valued objects, those we want to highlight, those which confirm our personality. An orange space to glorify household rituals. An overall space to gather more in a more informal manner. A symbolic space in a functional space. A space for the indoors, the private home, an outdoor space for dinners on the terrace. Two trays, two worlds hidden in the dark corners."
