Italo e Grandeitalo

Year: 1999
Company: Marutomi
Designer: Giovanni Levanti

 

Marutomi is a Japanese company. Masanori Umeda, designer and art director, lived and worked in Italy for a long time. He decided to invite Italian designers for the second collection of tableware. Among them: Ettore Sottsass, Andrea Branzi, Denis Santachiara. My stackable trays Italo and Grandeitalo are first printed in recycled ABS and then painted. The originality of these trays is that they can stand, their form clearly communicates this possibility.
