One object, with multiple use. In fact, the envelope holder can also be used as a napkin holder, or letter holder. Made of 18/10 stainless steel, it is part of the King Kong family. This nice drawing was designed by architects Stefano Giovannoni and Guido Venturini following the advice of Alessandro Mendini. They propose to Alessi an object with a perforated edge with a motif of little men, the kind that children make with scissors. The Girotondo project (1989) became a best seller at Alessi.
