Kuru Kuru Stainless Steel Cup by Naoto Fukasawa for Alessi
The graceful Kuru Kuru is composed of a tray, carafe and cup, three elements that hark back to their archetypes. By reinterpreting simple shapes of universal tradition, Naoto Fukasawa creates new objects of daily use. Kuru Kuru is a Japanese term for the turning-lathe, the main technique used to make the three objects. The humble forms breathe with elegance and kindness, while quiet power transpires from their continuous, flowing outline. The three objects are available separately, in two versions: stainless steel and stainless steel with copper PVD coating.
Naoto Fukasawa was born in Yamanashi prefecture, Japan, in 1956. Fukasawa was one of the major players in the noted IDEO design group. A lecturer in the product design department at Musashino art university and Tama art university in Tokyo, his designs have won more than 50 design awards in Europe and America.
