Alessi Jar ES16/100

The ES16/100 Container by Alessi is a kitchen container that reinterprets a everyday object through Ettore Sottsass's distinctive formal language: geometric glass volumes topped with a beech wood lid. Available in three multicolour variants — yellow, black and white; pink, red and yellow; red, yellow and black — each version expresses a different chromatic combination.

The transparent glass structure and airtight seal protect the contents while preserving the flavour and aroma of stored products, making it suitable for keeping dry foods such as rice, pasta and biscuits, or powders like sugar, salt and coffee. The compact proportions — 17 × 12 cm with a capacity of 100 ml — make it functional in the kitchen without taking up excessive space. The combination of clear glass and the natural wood of the lid creates an object that merges practical use with aesthetic research.
