Alessi - Conca Vase/Container
The reinterpretation of an ancient type of jug called a conca, common in central and southern Italy. It is a capacious vessel used to contain and transport water. Equipped with two handles, the conca was either balanced atop the head to carry it, or left at the entrance of the home, allowing people to drink as soon as they arrived. Iacchetti maintained the traditional shape of two opposed and stacked cones, and worked on the design of the characteristic handles to create a single curved line that traces out the object's entire profile.
Giulio Iacchetti
Giulio Iacchetti, industrial designer since 1992, designs for various brands, including Alessi. Among his distinctive characteristics is the search for new object typologies such as the Moscardino, biodegradable multipurpose cutlery, designed with Matteo Ragni for Pandora design and awarded the Compasso d'Oro in 2001. In 2009 he was awarded the Prize of Innovation Awards conferred by the President of the Italian Republic for the Eureka Coop project. In May 2009 the Milan Triennale hosted his solo exhibition Giulio Iacchetti. Disobedient objects. In 2014 he won his second Compasso d'Oro for the Sfera series of manholes, designed with Matteo Ragni for Montini.
