| Francesca Amfitheatrof is an Italian/American of Russian extraction, born in Japan and educated in England at the Royal College of Art Jewellery & Silversmith MA. Her eclectic background has molded her into one of Britain leading contemporary jewelers. Her self-described style, “natural, strong, simple — artwork as fashion, jewellery as talisman” transcends her independent craft and resonates throughout the line of ventilated sculptures she designs for Alessi’s homewares. Clearly, these principles highlight this understated platter, a 19.5" round stainless steel artifact that functions versatilely as a service tray or a stand-alone centerpiece. |
