Inspired by the National Palace Museum of Taiwan, architect and designer Stefano Giovannonvi has created a one of a kind kitchenware collection, to promote greater awareness of Chinese history and culture to the west.

The Taiwanese Museum is said to house the Orient’s richest collection of Asian artifacts. Its holdings originate from the imperial collections of the Ch’ing dynasty, and the earlier Sung, Yuan and Ming dynasties, and constitute the central core of Chinese culture and art.

Giovannonvi was approached by the gallery to create a mascot for the museum distinctive of the 21st Century. As a result of the collaboration the Chin family under the A di Alessi line was born. Each item is unique in character and representative of a household member. In addition, all items are separately molded, assembled and carefully hand painted.

A perfect gift for all seasons, the collectionis available at Rustan’s Makati or the Alessi flagship store at Building B-5 unit 110-111 Fort Bonifacio High street, Bonifacio Global city, Taguig
