ALESSI Merdolino Toilet Brush by Stefano Giovannoni | Stardust

Designer: Stefano GiovannoniManufacturer: Alessi

The well-known Merdolino Toilet Brush is one of the most successful examples of the playful cartoon language typical of Stefano Giovannoni’s 1990s projects. The designer deals with an essential but “prohibited” item, the toilet brush, and without any hesitation turns it into a slim pot that houses a lovely long shrub. The Merdolino Brush caused a scandal among the conventional design fraternity but has enjoyed enormous success over the years.

Stefano GiovannoniBorn in La Spezia in 1954, Stefano as an architect and designer was taught by Buti at Florence University. In the early 80s he founded the King-Kong Production Group along with Guido Venturini. A technical designer par excellence he has industrial design in his DNA and the capacity to understand public sentiment like no other designer mentioned in this catalogue. His projects began with the Girotondo (1989 designed with Guido Venturini) and the first transparent objects in plastic from the Family Follows Fiction series (1993). There is a huge number of his items in the Officina Alessi, Alessi and A di Alessi catalogues.
