Name: ‘Penelope’ pastry stand, aquamarine
Designer: Sambonet, available from WallpaperSTORE*
Price: £100
Inspired by the design philosophies and spirit found amongst Italian objects and architecture created in the 1950s, Sambonet’s ’Penelope’ collection is a reinterpretation of a bygone era. Not for the first time, the historic Italian brand has manifested these qualities as the character and personality of an imaginary female figure — Penelope — a spirit that is at once modern and emancipated, sophisticated in beauty and decisive yet gentle. The collection, which comprises a series of bowls, centrepieces, and a macaron dish, combines the brand’s signature quality craftsmanship with resin detailing and polished stainless steel. Entirely made in Italy, this sleek pastry stand offers a mirrored base atop a series of aquamarine resin feet, and is crowned by an additional sphere at the top of the stand. Presented in gift packaging.
