Bowled over

In times of easy global communication from the internet at our fingertips to international design publications on our magazine shelves the buyer expects and looks for the best the world has to offer.

Over the past few decades, Italian design house Alessi has collaborated with various talents on the international design scene, including respected heavyweight product designer Stefano Giovannoni.

The latest product line-up to feature this pairing is the Alessi One range, from international bathroomware giant Laufen. Alessi teaming with Laufen has enabled the sculptural Alessi One range to reach a broader global market, including New Zealand.

Giovannoni's sense of playfulness runs through all the Alessi One designs. However, their minimalist, rounded forms belie the range's ergonomic precision.

Laufen's Alessi One range is carried by Chesters Plumbing and Bathroom Centres throughout the greater Auckland region.
