"Pleats" Tray by Alessi

Jin Kuramoto is collaborating with Alessi for the first time and is presenting “Pleats,” a new series of trays. Inspired by the iconic shape of a beer bottle cap, Kuramoto transforms this everyday object into a simple, functional, and yet surprising design piece. “Pleats”—the English word for “folds”—embodies a playful yet austere aesthetic with clear expressiveness. The tray defies expectations, blends elements of pop culture, and invites you to enjoy life with a sense of lightness, without sacrificing elegance or functionality.
