The “Trinava” flower vase recalls the shape of the “Trina” pencil holder from the “Desktop Architecture” series presented in 2006. Made in bone china, it is manufactured in two different colours. (Incidentally, the Alessi store in New York designed by the Egyptian-American architect has received many awards, and trade there is going very well).
