The Bombe Sugar Bowl was first introduced in 1945 as part of a full tea service crafted from chrome-plated and silver-plated heavy brass. Transformed with modern stainless steel, Bombe is now offered with a choice between black bakelite or applewood handles and knobs. Very much a product of the postwar sociocultural climate, Bombe reflects the design and customs that are associated with the first age of Italian design. Calling to mind the curves of the Vespa and the Isetta Bubble Car, the rounded shapes and clean lines give the Bombe Sugar Bowl a hint of pop art combined with classic Italian design.
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalo is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world. A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential. --Alberto Alessi
