Alessi - Big love XXL
Big Love becomes even bigger, revealing itself to the public on a surprising scale and taking on an almost sculptural value. In an extremely ‘Pop’ operation, Alessi has given itself the freedom to have fun with its public: exaggerated and unexpected, out of context by choice, Big Love XXL is an extra-large icon that, for these very reasons, fits in with any environment.
