Alessi — Space-bimba AL23000 | Blue polyurethane wristwatch

A blue polyurethane circle that embraces the wrist with the lightness of a game. Space-bimba is a watch that does not take itself seriously - and that is precisely why it wins you over. Its soft, almost tactile body has a compact diameter of 3.8 centimetres and a thickness of just one centimetre: a discreet, lively presence, capable of transforming even the most everyday act of checking the time into a small moment of chromatic pleasure. It was designed by Miriam Mirri, a Roman designer with an unmistakably poetic and ironic style, who moves naturally between the world of toys and that of high-quality household objects. With Alessi, Mirri was able to identify that fertile area where design meets a smile: Space-bimba was created in 2010 as part of the Alessi catalogue as a formal statement of intent - its round shape, chosen colour and name itself speak of an aesthetic that looks to childhood without ever becoming childish. We at Stilmobili chose Space-bimba precisely for its dual nature: it is a collectible item for those who love Italian design in its freest and most experimental vein, but it is also a perfect gift - for a curious little girl, an ironic friend or anyone who wants to wear a fragment of the lightness that good design can offer on their wrist. Now discontinued, it belongs to that category of Alessi pieces that become charming little rarities over time. Design notes: polyurethane material, blue colour, diameter 3.80 cm, thickness 1.00 cm. Designer Miriam Mirri, Alessi collection, added to the catalogue in May 2010. Currently discontinued.
