Alessi - ECAL - Marie Schenker - Container (2) - ''Filo''...

This set of two Filo adhesive tape dispensers was designed by Marie Schenker for Alessi in 2012 and demonstrates how even the most ordinary everyday object can be transformed into a refined piece of design. The name Filo, meaning “wire” in Italian, directly reflects the concept behind the project: a simple stainless-steel wire bent into a flowing shape that becomes both a functional and sculptural tape dispenser. The design is a perfect example of the philosophy for which Alessi is renowned: reducing an object to its essential elements without sacrificing personality. Using a minimum amount of material, Schenker created a surprisingly expressive form. A thin stainless-steel plate, discreetly welded inside the curved wire structure, provides grip and stability, resulting in an object that is simultaneously lightweight, elegant and highly functional. Crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, the Filo stands out for its durability and timeless appearance. Its open construction gives the piece an almost graphic quality, allowing it to function not only as a practical office accessory but also as a small sculptural object in its own right. Whether placed on a desk, in a studio, home office or creative workspace, it introduces a subtle touch of Italian design culture. Combining minimalism, technical simplicity and playful elegance, the Filo belongs to that rare category of designs that prove exceptional design does not arise from complexity, but from reducing a function to its purest possible form. Both Filo adhesive tape dispensers are offered in new, unused condition and come complete with their original Alessi packaging. As such, they represent not only practical everyday objects but also attractive collectible or gift items for admirers of Italian design.
