Alessi — AMJ13 2 | Madonna Christmas ornament, blown glass

There is something ancient and timeless about this blown-glass sphere: an object that belongs to the tradition of Christmas ornaments and yet reinterprets it with a distinctly contemporary lightness. Alessi's Madonna is a blown-glass Christmas tree bauble, entirely hand-decorated, carrying with it the memory of a craftsman's gesture - the breath, the shape, the brush - transforming it into a small act of domestic beauty. Within its nine-centimeter diameter lies a rare level of care, the kind that distinguishes an ornament from an object to keep and pass down. The design bears the signature of Marcello Jori for the creative duo LPWK, as part of the **A di Alessi** collection - the project through which the Omegna factory explores the boundary between design, visual storytelling, and everyday objects. An artist and illustrator by training, Jori brings his unmistakable style to the Alessi world: stylized figures, an almost naïve line concealing profound sophistication, and an imagination that draws equally freely from art history and popular culture. The Madonna thus becomes an icon in the most literal sense - a sacred and secular image at once, suited to those who see the Christmas tree not merely as a tradition but as an aesthetic composition. At Stilmobili, we chose this piece because it perfectly represents what we look for: the meeting point between craftsmanship and vision, between celebration and taste. It is the ideal ornament for those who want to create a tree that is also a collection - not of mass-produced objects, but of pieces with a story and a soul. A refined, thoughtful gift, capable of moving the person who receives it and of enduring. *Project notes: blown glass, hand decoration. Diameter 9 cm. Alessi's A Collection, autumn/winter program.*
