Alessi — Barket BM10/18 BM10/18 W | Round painted steel basket

There is something disarming about Barket's simplicity: a perfect circle, a low basin that holds without truly containing, a white so pure that it seems like a declaration of intent. Made of steel painted in the purest shade imaginable, this round basket with a diameter of 18 centimetres settles on any surface with the lightness of a barely sketched idea. Its modest height - just 6.5 cm - turns it into an object on the boundary, halfway between a tray and a centrepiece, capable of holding keys, fruit, small everyday objects, or simply becoming a visual presence on the table. Barket bears the signature of Boucquillon & Maaoui, a creative duo that has interpreted the needs of contemporary living with a precise, unembellished perspective. The design was created as part of the Alessi Palinsesto collection, in the spirit of the spring and summer season: an association that is not accidental, because Barket evokes those days when the home opens up, becomes lighter, and reorganizes itself around more spontaneous gestures. We chose it for Stilmobili because it perfectly represents what we look for in the objects we offer our customers: a resolved form, understated usefulness, an aesthetic that requires no justification. It is ideal for those who like to keep their kitchen or living space tidy without giving up character, for those who give the gift of design without trying to impress, but simply to delight.
