TWERGI
All Time Favourites presents a series of small representative objects from the “Twergi” collection, created in 1989 from a desire to revitalise the ancient tradition of woodturning, typical of the territory in which Alessi is based. The name “twergi”, or “elf”, derives from the dialect spoken in the nearby valleys. In their dealings with humans, the “twergi” alternated between causing mishaps and giving a helping hand, which included teaching men how to make use of wood and other forest resources.

STORY
Designed in 1989, this grindstone belonged to the Twergi collection, born out of a desire to revitalize the ancient tradition of woodturning, typical of the area where Alessi is based. Twergi means "leprechaun" in the ancient Walser dialect spoken in the mountains surrounding the company: according to belief, these creatures related to humans by doing mischief but also favors such as teaching how to use wood from the forests. Fascinated by the lathe, Ettore Sottsass and others created objects that still prove relevant today.
ETTORE SOTTSASS
Designer
Born in Innsbruck in 1917, he is known the world over as one of the initiators of the revolution in architecture and design which led away from the rigid functionalism of the years prior to and following the Second World War. A great and influential Maestro of Italian design, the energy of his language and the vitality of his colour and line contrast sharply with any intellectualism and rigidity. He dies in December 2007.
