CACTUS!
Fruit bowl
Fretwork is part of the broader theme of decoration that has accompanied human history since its origins. Of particular interest was the use of fretwork in the early industrial era, beginning in the second half of the 1800s, when the application of decorative, naturalistic or geometric motifs were used to give greater dignity to early industrial products. CACTUS! by Marta Sansoni is a significant example of Alessi's achievements with this workmanship: an intricate forest of cactus needles, a fretwork that is always the same and always different.
Cactus!
Distinctive for its fretwork, which represents a series of irregularly overlapping leaves, CACTUS! by Marta Sansoni has become one of the most representative objects of Alessi's expertise in the processing of perforated steel.

The Alessi Research Centre (CSA) was set up in 1990 for two purposes: to draw up theoretical papers on topics associated with objects (to be published as books), and to coordinate work with young designers. Up until that time Alessi had only worked with “major designers”, and I felt a certain degree of responsibility towards young, upcoming designers. Alberto Alessi
