Alessi — Plissé MDL08 MDL08 W/CH | White resin toaster by De Lucch

There is something deeply familiar yet surprising about the Plissé: its ribbed surface, which evokes the pleated fabric from which it takes its name, transforms an everyday object into a small kitchen sculpture. The white thermoplastic resin conveys an almost tactile lightness, a formal purity that does not forgo character. Holding it, lowering the lever, waiting for the aroma of toasted bread - every gesture takes on a different quality when the tool is designed with such care. Michele De Lucchi created the Plissé with the same poetic sensitivity that made him one of the great interpreters of contemporary Italian design. Founder of AMDL CIRCLE, formerly a leading figure in the Memphis movement and a collaborator of Olivetti, De Lucchi has always sought a path towards human warmth in industrial design. The vertical pleated pattern is not decoration: it is structure, identity, rhythm. A visual code that makes the Plissé instantly recognisable on the shelf of the most refined kitchen. We chose it for Stilmobili because it embodies exactly what we seek: objects that do not merely function, but inhabit space with dignity and intention. The Plissé is ideal for those who build a kitchen as they compose an interior - with aesthetic consistency, attention to detail, and a rejection of compromise. It is a gift of the highest calibre, as well as a personal purchase for those who know that even breakfast deserves beauty. Project notes: Power 850W, dimensions 34 × 19 × 19 cm.
