Alessi — Veneer PU05 | Urquiola Design Airtight Jar

Alessi Veneer - Nature on the kitchen counter

There is something hypnotic about the way the lid's lines move, like wood grain carved into steel. Patricia Urquiola's Veneer jar for Alessi does more than simply store: it transforms an everyday gesture - opening, closing, filling - into a small moment of visual pleasure. The transparency of the glass displays the contents honestly, while the raised decoration tells a story of craftsmanship and formal exploration.

Why we chose it for you

Alessi was founded in 1921 on Lake Orta as an artisan workshop and has never stopped asking what it means to bring design into everyday objects. Veneer is the result of this vision: a functional object designed by Patricia Urquiola, in which the 18/10 stainless steel lid becomes a sculptural surface that reinterprets wood grain in a contemporary way. A successful balance between usefulness and formal beauty.
