In the late 1940s, after the wartime hiatus, the design activities of the Alessi Technical Office resumed. The research in wire products led in 1948 to the production of the 826 round basket, followed in 1955 by the oval version and in 1966 by the square version. The simplicity of execution of these baskets is matched by a refined formal result. Their success is remarkable: they offer a more modern and dynamic alternative to the still popular silver baskets, suitable for both curated and informal tables, anticipating the contemporary taste for refined minimalism.
