Alessi toothpick holder. In pear wood and steel. Always aware of ecological issues and natural forms, Andrea Branzi is one of the designers who is most aware of the potential of turned wood, a material that in his opinion is one of the best available for making "objects with which we can establish relationships, not just of use and functionality but also of a psychological, symbolic, and poetic nature.” Style number CO1369.
