The Alessi website describes Scoiattolo as follows:
“A squirrel bending over to crack open a walnut, or a hazelnut, is the archetypical representation that can be seen frequently throughout the historical production of this object. So, there’s nothing new in Branzi’s use of this metaphor (or does it deal with synecdoche or quintessential nature? In any case, it deals with using a rhetorical figure, which is also very frequent in design) but his version certainly has the mark of a master.”
Sometimes it’s better to say less rather than more…
Scoiattolo – it’s a nutcracker!
