The Story
Designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1958, the Alzata Red Centrepiece features a bold cup-shaped form raised on a cylindrical base. Made in white clay and finished in a vivid red glossy glaze, it reflects Sottsass’ signature fusion of geometry and expressive colour. The silhouette references traditional risers while embracing the sculptural qualities of industrial design.
Each piece is handcrafted by artisans at Bitossi’s historic workshop in Montelupo Fiorentino. Expect subtle variations that make every centrepiece unique. Order today to bring a piece of postwar Italian design into your space.
