The "Celata" Basket stems from research into a manufacturing process strongly connected with Alessi’s production history: sheet metal cutting and folding.

The research project involved various designers including Giulio Iacchetti, whose answer was this Basket inspired by the part of the helmets of medieval knights that protected their faces.

Equipped with slits, the sallet (celata in Italian) enabled knights to see out, and this was the designer’s inspiration for a Basket created from a piece of cut sheet metal in which the large expanses of material alternate symmetrically with the voids.

“Celata” is produced from 18/10 steel, the sheet metal is laser cut and then folded. It comes in three versions: in steel with mirrored finish or painted with black or orange epoxy resin
