Triangular Engraved Tray by Franco Grignani for Alessi, 1974

Italian Mid-Century Modern Decorative Objects

A striking and collectible engraved stainless steel tray designed by Franco Grignani for Alessi in 1974. Signed underneath, this geometric piece exemplifies Grignani’s fascination with optical perception and mathematical patterning, translated through Alessi’s refined Italian metalwork.

Optical artistry and sculptural form
The tray’s surface features Grignani’s signature engraved moiré pattern, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and geometry. Its triangular relief within the circular form reflects the designer’s experimental approach to visual rhythm, balance, and texture — hallmarks of Italian modernist design in the 1970s.

Collectible Italian design by Alessi
Produced during Alessi’s peak of artistic collaborations, this piece bridges functional design and sculptural art, embodying the era’s commitment to craftsmanship and experimentation. Whether displayed as a decorative centerpiece or collector’s object, it stands as a rare example of Grignani’s optical minimalism brought to life in steel.
