Alessi — Girotondo AKK84S2 W | White King-Kong napkin holder set

There is something immediately recognizable about Girotondo: that procession of stylized little figures holding hands around the edge, dancing in a circle as if in an endless nursery rhyme. Made of stainless steel coated with white epoxy resin, these two napkin rings bring an affectionate, almost childlike geometry to the table, in the noblest sense of the term - that ability to see the world with eyes capable of wonder. The bright white emphasizes the purity of the perforated form, transforming a functional accessory into a small daily ritual. Girotondo was created by King-Kong, the pseudonym of the creative duo formed by Stefano Giovannoni and Guido Venturini, who in the 1990s reshaped Alessi's formal vocabulary by introducing a new, ironic and pop humanism. The stylized little figure - an icon that has become one of the most recognizable in contemporary Italian design - runs through an entire family of objects that has successfully combined industrial production and visual poetry, earning its place in the history of 20th-century design. This version, part of the "A di Alessi" collection, represents one of the concluding chapters in a long and generous story. We chose it for those who never separate beauty from use, who enjoy setting the table with care and a touch of cultured irony. Girotondo is perfect as a design gift - recognizable, elegant, and capable of bringing a smile even to those who know design well. At Stilmobili, we consider it one of those rare objects that tell the story of an era while remaining forever current. Project notes: Set of two napkin rings.
