Shiny stainless steel kitchen roll holder model Barkroll. Article by Alessi.
The Barkroll paper roll holder is part of a collection of objects designed by Michael Boucquillon and Donia Maaoui, inspired by the trees that surround their home in the hills of Lucca. It is made in the Alessi plant in Crusinallo di Omegna through a series of steps that shape the metal plate obtaining the organic and sinuous shape designed by the two authors. The design of this original roll holder evokes the bark of a tree: the tunnel recalls the knots of the wood, the cylindrical shape recalls the structure of the trunk. The result is a poetic but functional object which, as the authors explain, reminds us of the fact that the paper comes from the trees with each tear.
