Alessi Megaptera Centrepiece

Andrea Morgante's instict made him design this Centrepiece in a very particular way. The steel tray's surface alters its shape in the most natural way when it receives a weight. “This is what Megaptera whales do when feeding, expanding their ventral grooves to accommodate a larger volume of water. The ribbing of the tray expresses the gentle surface’s deformation while optimizing its structural rigidity, without increasing the thickness of the metal sheet”. (Andrea Morgante)
