Wall Clock with 2 Birds by Michael Graves for Alessi, 1992, Italy 'Cream, Beige'

About the Item

The 1992 "Kitchen clock" by Michael Graves is one of Alessi's most successful designs. The birds flying from each hand recall the famous whistling bird from the Alessi kettle that Michael Graves also designed. The clock decorates the wall and gives the birds more space to float. The dynamic of colors between the ivory frame and the birds unite all the elements into this brilliant personality. A very well thought and build object. The clock is unused, new in box with manual. It is the Ivory version. We also offer the light blue version, the dark blue version and the yellow version. Measures: 10" x 10" x H 3.5"

    By Riccardo Dalisi, Zanotta
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Peacock chair by Riccardo Dalisi released in 1986 for Zanotta's Edizioni Series dedicated to limited edition artistic designs. Named Pavone, Italian for “peacock”, the bird after which it was designed. The fanned feathers are depicted with small yellow round circles at the crown-tipped back. The feet are bird-like and painted yellow. A peacock’s neck, head and beak descend down at the front of the seat and are punctuated by a coral-colored worm that we can imagine the peacock wrestling to its mouth. Made of steel, the chair has an unqualified strength of material with an undeniable poetry of design. The empty space counts as much as the tangible parts. Dalisi, an artist, architect, designer and poet at the forefront of early Italian radical...
