Michael Graves Salt Shaker by Alessi

Description

Graves’ highly personal and easy to recognize formal style blends influences from the european tradition, Art Deco, American “pop”, and flashes of pre-Columbian culture. He has shown he can bewitch the public like only very few of the designers with whom i’ve worked. His success derives from his wholly uninhibited approach to the economic dimension which this activity inevitably entails.

Material: PA, steel
Dimensions: 2.48″Dia x 4.45″H
