CO1370 Toothpick holder, toothpick dispenser made of pear wood

One of the rare products by Andrea Branzi & TWERGI!

In 1989, ALESSI acquired PIAZZA BATTISTA, one of the oldest, traditional woodturning companies in the Strona Valley on Lake Orta. Alberto Alessi named his label TWERGI and commissioned Milton Glaser for the CI and some of the most renowned designers for the product designs. The aim was to translate traditional wood processing techniques into the present.

Andrea Branzi (1938 - 2023) studied architecture in his hometown Florence. In 1966, he founded Archizoom-Associati with Paolo Deganello, Gilberto Corretti, and Massimo Morozzi. The group is considered the founder of Anti-Design. In 1975, Branzi was a co-founder and member of Studio Alchimia, together with Ettore Sottsass and Alessandro Mendini.
