Alessi — Cohncave SC01/33 | Red and purple openwork centerpiece

There is something hypnotic about the way light passes through Cohncave's perforated pattern: a play of shadows and reflections that transforms a simple centerpiece into a small visual event. Made of steel coated with epoxy resin in shades of red and purple, this 33-centimeter-diameter piece has a rare stage presence - flat yet three-dimensional, functional yet unmistakably ornamental. Its perforated geometry is not mere decoration: it is the very structure of the object, its breath. Cohncave was created by Susan Cohn, an Australian designer who is among the most original and unconventional voices of her generation. Cohn has always worked at the boundary between jewelry, functional objects, and industrial sculpture, questioning materials with a formal intelligence that leaves no room for the rhetoric of easy beauty. Her partnership with Alessi follows in the tradition of the Factory - that extraordinary intellectual workshop that transformed the Italian home industry into a laboratory of design culture. Cohncave belongs to the 100 Values Collection, the program through which Alessi gathered some of the most significant expressions of its production history. We chose it for Stilmobili because it is exactly the kind of object that cannot be explained - it has to be encountered. It is ideal for those who furnish with aesthetic consistency, who are not afraid of color as a stylistic statement, and who want the table or buffet to say something even when empty. A design gift for connoisseurs, or a distinctive touch in a carefully curated interior. Design notes: perforated steel with a two-tone red/purple epoxy resin finish - diameter 33 cm, height 5 cm.
