Alessi — Vimini BM21/25 W | Perforated white steel basket

There is something hypnotic about Vimini's pattern: a geometric weave that evokes the craftsmanship of traditional wickerwork, reinterpreted through the precision of perforated steel coated with white epoxy resin. Here, white is not merely a chromatic choice, but a declaration of formal purity — the smooth, uniform surface enhances every shadow cast by the perforations, transforming the basket into a small study in light and matter. The design bears the signature of the creative duo Boucquillon & Maaoui, Franco-Tunisian designers known for their ability to translate Mediterranean cultural memories into objects with universal appeal. With Vimini, they accomplish the not insignificant feat of bringing the material heritage of hand weaving — rooted in the Italian and North African domestic imagination — into dialogue with the industrial vocabulary and production rigor that characterize Alessi's manufacturing. The result is an object that belongs to several worlds without betraying any of them. At Stilmobili, we chose Vimini because it embodies that happy tension between function and poetry that we seek in every piece of our selection. With its 27 cm diameter, it serves as a tray, centerpiece, fruit bowl, or mail holder — but above all, it makes its presence felt. It is ideal for those who furnish thoughtfully and want every object to tell a story, even when it is simply placed on a table. Project notes: perforated steel with a matte white epoxy resin finish. Diameter: 27 cm, height: 5.5 cm. Weight: 678 g. Part of the Alessi fall/winter collection, code BM21/25 W.
