'collection of objects' by catalan designer martí guixé is a new series of household items
for alessi. the pieces are designed to encourage interaction and play from its users.
through his designs, guixé researches new ways of looking at objects rather than simply
reinventing a form that fits into the traditional interpretations of function.

'objects have become tools for perceiving our daily reality, and also for communicating
not only with objects, but also with other people through these objects. this collection is
based on new typologies revolving around this concept.' -MG

impart daily instructions. whether it is fruits or anything else you may put in the container,
the objects will in this way communicate through the balloons.
