The "Pebble" Bowl Set: This Season's Standout New Item

The keywords expressing Italesse's new direction for 2013 are: Coordinate, integrate, elaborate, colour, and overwhelm. While harmonizing with the requests of professionals who use Italesse in demanding settings, the designs feature impactful shapes and materials, rendered in Italesse's signature appealing color palette.

Particularly noteworthy is the "Pebble" bowl set, designed by nendo. Inspired by the smooth, irregular curves of pebbles, this set of three stackable bowls is characterized by its organic lines and a color scheme of black, orange, and white.

The orange, inspired by the sun, serves as an accent. When combined with black and white, it offers a delightful versatility that extends beyond food and beverages, allowing for playful, multi-purpose use, a hallmark of Italesse products.

With its modern, contemporary aesthetic and striking colors, the Pebble collection, marking Italesse's first collaboration with a Japanese designer, is poised to grace many dining tables.
