Limited Edition Alessi Wire Baskets from MoMA by Evan Orensten

Alessi's classic wire basket has graced the counters and tables of the terminally chic since its debut in 1951. At MoMA's request Alessi has developed a slight variation of these baskets, coating the stainless steel in brightly colored epoxy-polyester paint for the two limited edition styles.
The Alessi square red wire basket ($110) and round yellow wire basket ($85) are available exclusively from the MoMA Store. MoMA members receive a discount.
