Alessi - Bauble Noël - Red - Blown glass - Designer Massimo Giacon; Alessi Bauble Red Glass. Dimensions: 7.5 x 3.5 cm x H 6.5 cm. Experience a magical, traditional, and unique Christmas with Alessi! From the abundant creativity of Massimo Giacon and Marcello Jori is born the Le Palle Quadrate (Square Balls) collection of Christmas baubles. The two designers revisit these classic decorations by giving free rein to their very personal imaginations. Halfway between an old-fashioned toy and a video game character, the square balls revisit classic Christmas decorations with a touch of irony. This way, a series of endearing characters emerge: smiling, colourful and square, they're perfect for decorating the Christmas tree, a corner of the house or the festive table in an unconventional, fun way. The Palle Quadrate Christmas baubles are made of hand-blown glass inside a mould and decorated by hand. In 2021, the Palle Quadrate collection welcomed six new characters: Sunflake, a curious sun flake, Mooncube, an unusual square moon, Snowray, a radiant snowflake, Cubomago, a little magician with a long blue robe dotted with stars, Cubicorn, an unusual unicorn with a rainbow mane, and Cubodrago, a small green fire-breathing dragon. Designers Massimo Giacon and Marcello Jori: When it occurred to us to come up with square Christmas baubles, we looked at each other and said: No one ever thought of it?? Impossible! So, we started meticulously looking into it wherever we could. Sure enough, there were a few square decorations, but nowhere in the world could we find anything like what we'd just designed. It wasn't unlike the great egg of Columbus tale… What if there was some insurmountable technical problem? We couldn't have made them happen even in our wildest dreams! So, welcome to the world, Palle Quadrate! Toys that are somewhat old, a bit vintage, a bit like video game faces.''
