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.
