Alessi — KU TI05/77 | White porcelain coffee saucer

There is something radically silent about the KU saucer. White, perfectly circular, with a diameter of twelve centimetres that seems to measure not only space but also time — the brief and precious time of a coffee. The porcelain is pure white, smooth, with that tactile density that distinguishes an object that has been thoughtfully designed from one that has simply been produced. Holding it in your hands is already a completed gesture. KU was born from the vision of Toyo Ito, one of the great masters of contemporary Japanese architecture, a two-time Pritzker Prize winner and tireless interpreter of the relationship between form, lightness and flow. His approach to materials is always guided by a search for essence: what remains when the superfluous is removed? The KU collection for Alessi responds with clean geometry, free of ornament, in which the purity of form itself becomes a language. The encounter between Japanese design sensibility and Italian craftsmanship produces an object that effortlessly inhabits both cultures. At Stilmobili, we chose KU for those who experience the coffee ritual as a moment of design — not as a habit, but as a conscious aesthetic choice. It is the ideal complement to contemporary tables where every detail is carefully considered, for those who collect functional design objects without giving in to gratuitous decoration. Marked as end of series, this saucer now also gains the added value of rarity. Design notes: white porcelain, 12 cm diameter, net weight 102 g. Designed by Toyo Ito for Alessi, KU collection.
