Tua Carafe by Mario Botta - Stainless Steel, Black Plastic

The Tua carafe offers architectural minimalism with its truncated cylinder body and semicircular handle, creating a striking, geometric silhouette. Crafted from glossy, polished stainless steel and black plastic, its contrasting materials add a cool, refined finish. The angled extension of the handle gives the design a more dynamic, slightly sharper character. Its clean lines suit modern interiors, and it pairs well with the matching Mia carafe.

The Tua carafe designed by Mario Botta belongs to the Officina Alessi catalogue. The vessel's design is characterised by an architectural minimalism that uses the simplest forms to create an eye-catching, unusual object. Made of glossy, polished stainless steel and black plastic, the carafe combines the shape of a truncated cylinder and a semicircular handle. The forms complement each other perfectly to create an unusual, cool, ascetic whole. The combination of the lines of the truncated cylinder and the dash extension of the handle dynamise the design, giving it a slightly more aggressive character than the Mia carafe. The geometric nature of Tua means that it will work well in modern interiors. The carafe forms an extremely attractive group with the twin Mia vessel.
