Alessi - Michel Boucquillon & Donia Maaoui - Coaster (4)...

Set of 4 Alessi Barkforpan Trivets designed by Michel Boucquillon & Donia Maaoui for Alessi. This set of four Barkforpan trivets belongs to Alessi's poetic and nature-inspired Bark collection. The distinctive perforated pattern recalls the texture of tree bark and was inspired by the trees surrounding the designers' home-studio in the Tuscan countryside. The result is an organic design language that creates a harmonious dialogue between nature and contemporary design. Combining practicality with elegance, these trivets protect tables and countertops from hot cookware while also serving as decorative design objects. Their refined silhouette makes them attractive display pieces even when not in use. Made from 70% recycled thermoplastic resin in the warm grey finish, the Barkforpan reflects Alessi's commitment to sustainable materials and modern design. The trivets are in unused condition and come in their original packaging. Michel Boucquillon & Donia Maaoui: Born in Belgium in 1962. In 1988 he won the competition of the chamber of European Parliament in Brussels which signed the beginning of his Architectural and Design career. Designed by Michel Boucquillon and Donia Maaoui, the “Bark” collection was inaugurated in 2015. The designers drew their inspiration from their home, Casa Boucquillon: it is a place for experimentation, meditation and work where they can live in synch with nature. The perforated pattern of the “Bark” range recalls the bark on the trees that surround the house. Michel actually works for the world most famous International Design companies: Artemide, Antonio Lupi, Ferragamo, Serralunga. His work is present in several Museums and got many of the main international Awards, recently: Menzione d’Onore Compasso d’Oro 2011, Good Design Award 2008, Design Plus 2006. Donia Maaoui, Michel’s wife and an architect herself, works alongside her husband on some of the Alessi and Martinelliluce projects, although her principal occupation is cast bronze sculpture and painting.
