Alba, 26th September 2017 - Alessi, together with Centro Nazionale Studi Tartufo and Ente Fiera Internazionale del Tartufo Bianco d'Alba presented the results of the “De Truffle” project: a research that started in 2015, aimed at investigating possible new languages for the creation of a “Alba White Truffle Kit”, involving the biggest names of international design. The workshop combined the farsightedness of a local development association, the knowledge of a design company, the professionalism of international designers and the precious contribution of experts in local traditions. The “Alba” truffle slicer designed by Ben van Berkel/UNStudio was selected between all the realizations, to be produced. The prototypes and concepts developed for the project are on show at the “De Truffle. Alessi Design meets the Alba White Truffle” exhibition at Palazzo Banca d’Alba and documented in the book “De Truffle. Alessi Design meets the Alba White Truffle” published by Silvana Editoriale.
