Designer: King Kong (design due of Stefano Giovannoni & Guido Venturini)
Maker: Alessi - Italy

.
The avant-garde design duo of ‘King Kong’ is made up of two designers, Stefano Giovannoni & Guido Venturini. With a interest in popular culture and cartoons, the duo aimed to capture a childish playfulness within their designs. The ‘Girotondo’ range offers the familiar cut-out man as the central icon, stemming from the name itself which is taken from the Italian version of the common rhyme ‘ring-a-ring-a-roses’, a fitting motif to decorate the entire range.
This letter or napkin holder is perfect in the centre of a dining table, or tucked on a desk for organising all those loose bits of paper. Constructed in bent steel, the openness of the design feels right at home in a contemporary interior.
