Vase/Container Copper - Conca - Alessi

Vase/Container Copper - Conca.
Giulio Iacchetti not only co-created the first edition of the Il Tornitore Matto project with Alberto Alessi, but also contributed as a designer by reimagining the traditional conca, an ancient jug once used in central and southern Italy to carry and store water. Known for its generous shape and two side handles, the conca was often carried on the head or placed at the entrance of a home to offer water to guests. Iacchetti preserved its classic silhouette of two stacked cones and redesigned the iconic handles into a single continuous curved line that elegantly outlines the entire profile of the piece.
