FAMILY
Toru, the stainless-steel appliance series designed by Nendo for Alessi, is a wonderful expression of the skill and care with which the company handles this material. “Toru” means “through” in Japanese and is a subtle reference to the black, tube-like elements that characterise the various objects in the collection. These elements fit elegantly into the stainless-steel body, acting sometimes as a spout, sometimes as a handle, to create a composition of cleverly ironic volumes.
GIFT WRAPPING
Every gift is meticulously hand-wrapped by our team at our HQ in Italy during order preparation. You can select this option in your cart.

TORU JUICER – MINIMALIST DESIGN MEETS PRECISION CRAFTSMANSHIP
In Japanese, “toru” means “through”, and with this juicer, a black, tube-like element seems to pierce the lid, become its handles, and protrude from the steel body to act as a spout. This object is complicated to produce because the linear design requires a particularly challenging manufacturing process.
