Alessi Les Ministres Centerpiece Fruit Bowl by Philippe Starck Olive

Les Ministres Centerpiece Fruit Bowl by Philippe Starck for Alessi in Olive.

The Alessi Les Ministres Stand/Centerpiece is an intriguing piece of home decor that can be used both as a stand or a centerpiece on your table. It features a thermoplastic resin base holding up a mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel platter.

The legs of this centerpiece almost look alive, giving organic, imaginative life to this contemporary piece.

This anthropomorphic inspiration was designed by Philippe Starck, winner of the Grand Prix National de la Création industrielle and the Honor Award of the American Institute of Architects.

Alessi has been manufacturing beautiful, Italian-made household products since 1921. These stylish, contemporary creations are the result of strong partnerships with some of the world's best designers of unique, modern home decor and accessories.

This is not a new item and has some light surface scratching.  A knowledgeable buffing most likely would return it to a like new condition, but it's just fine the way it is and virtually unnoticeable with fruit in the bowl.  The legs are securely affixed to the bowl and in great shape.
