Designed in 1994, this jar 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.
