Alessi Products Tea & Coffee Gino Zucchino

Guido Venturini pioneered a design that speaks to the masses as well as experts and in the 1990s he created a successful series of items that included this anthropomorphic sugar castor, one of the most famous icons from the series. With his irresistible smile and large doe-eyes, Gino Zucchino is ever-present at breakfast time, just like an old friend, and brings heaps of fun (and sugar!) to the table.
