Designed in 1989, this grindstone belonged to the Twergi collection, born out of a desire to revitalize the ancient tradition of woodturning, typical of the area where Alessi is based. Twergi means "leprechaun" in the ancient Walser dialect spoken in the mountains surrounding the company: according to belief, these creatures related to humans by doing mischief but also favors such as teaching how to use wood from the forests. Fascinated by the lathe, Ettore Sottsass and others created objects that still prove relevant today.
Values Collection
A collection of unpublished objects to celebrate 100 years of research in the field of applied arts and the beginning of a new century of experimentation.
DiscoverEttore Sottsass
Born in Innsbruck in 1917, he is known the world over as one of the initiators of the revolution in architecture and design which led away from the rigid functionalism of the years prior to and following the Second World War. A great and influential Maestro of Italian design, the energy of his language and the vitality of his colour and line contrast sharply with any intellectualism and rigidity. He dies in December 2007.
