Birillo Toothbrush Cup PL03

Stylish Designer Toothbrush Holder

Design is at its best when it turns unassuming everyday objects into true design pieces, when it uses subtle design elements to transform functional items into extraordinary products that stay with us for a long time and grow dear to our hearts. Alessi ’s Birillo series is a prime example of this. Designer Piero Lissoni’s toothbrush holder lends this simple everyday object an unexpected elegance. The toothbrush holder—which is essentially a strictly functional item—no longer needs to be hidden away; instead, it can be proudly displayed as a high-quality design piece from Alessi . The toothbrush holder stands out on its own or as part of the Birillo collection with its gentle lines, elegant simplicity, and the features that set Piero Lissoni’s Birillo products apart from the mass of bathroom accessories: Thanks to the rounded edges at the base, the contact points with the floor are not visible; the pieces in the collection appear to float, as if drifting on the smooth surfaces of the bathroom. With Birillo, Alessi presents its first comprehensive bathroom collection. Simple and beautiful, practical and extensive, Birillo offers the opportunity to complete the bathroom and give it an elegant and harmonious look. In designing Birillo, Piero Lissoni took the shape of a rounded square as his starting point, which evolves into various three-dimensional forms. The designer himself describes this shape as an “imperfect square or a completely failed circle.”
