Born in Barcelona in 1941 and active mainly as an architect and interior designer, Lluis Clotet has received many awards such as the F.A.D Award for creating the Best Interior Designs for 1965 and 1972, and the Best Building Award for 1979 and 1980. These abilities have enabled him to create many interesting, modern-inspired furnishings and household items that are featured for Alessi. The Sarria Round Basket (2000) designed by Lluis Clotet was a development from the "Foix Tray" which he designed for Alessi in 1994. Originally inspired by the crumpled effect of foil paper - he chose to replicate the crumpled effect of a felt hat as the inspiration for the Sarria basket. With its mirror polished stainless steel finish and moving lines, this piece exhibits just how "supple" metal working can really be. Just as functional as it is captivating, this is a beautiful piece to accompany the "Foix Tray."
