Twergi Salt / Pepper Set

Adalberto Pironi

Adalberto Pironi contributed to Alessi’s revival of traditional Italian woodturning techniques from the Orta Valley with this sculptural and functional duo. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted from pear and cherry wood, finished in natural and lacquered tones that highlight the smooth, organic forms. Though compact in size, the set makes a bold statement - balancing utility with aesthetic charm. The _Twergi_ collection derives its name from a local dialect word meaning "elves," a nod to the whimsical nature of these small domestic objects. Pironi’s design, now a rare vintage find, stands out for its subtle character and artful craftsmanship. Whether used daily or displayed as a collectible, this set brings Italian design heritage and postmodern creativity to any setting.
