Alessi - Birillo soap dish

Designed by Piero Lissoni, it is part of the Birillo bathroom furniture family. The main feature of the Birillo project is the balance between the minimal form and the materials used. The whole collection has a rectangular, minimal and essential shape, very careful in the details, like the rounded edges. In this way the objects are simple but not trivial.
