Alessi — Noè GIA17 | Stainless steel bottle holder

There is something ancestral in the act of chilling wine: a convivial ritual that precedes the laid table, preparing the atmosphere before the food even arrives. Noè interprets this gesture with the disarming simplicity of someone who knows that the perfect form needs no adornment. A mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel basin, gleaming like a still pond, with a generous diameter of 33 centimeters that embraces the bottle without constricting it - leaving it on display as the centerpiece. The design bears the signature of Giulio Iacchetti, a Milanese designer among the most perceptive figures in the contemporary Italian product design scene. Iacchetti has always demonstrated a rare ability to find the right tension between function and narrative, between an object for use and an object of desire. With Noè - a name that evokes deep roots, vineyards, the flood, and rebirth - he manages to condense all the poetry of drinking well into an archetypal form. No superfluous accessory, no redundant handle: just the pure volume of a container that becomes a presence. We chose it for Stilmobili because Noè is exactly the kind of object that interests us: one that doesn't shout, but gets noticed. Ideal for those who love entertaining in style without resorting to elaborate staging, and for anyone looking for a table piece that can converse equally well with a contemporary kitchen or a more classic setting. A gift with great personality, always appropriate. Project notes: 18/10 stainless steel basin with a polished mirror finish. Diameter 33 cm, height 20 cm. Net weight 2.17 kg. Designed by Giulio Iacchetti for the Alessi collection, fall/winter line.
