Alessi Toru Electric Toaster

TORU ELECTRIC TOASTER

Designed by Nendo

The Toru toaster emphasises Nendo’s ability to reduce objects down to their fundamentals. A few precise brush strokes are all it takes to design an elegantly proportioned object made even more minimalist by the use of steel.

COLLECTION 

Toru

MATERIAL

Electric toaster in 18/10 stainless steel and thermoplastic resin

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.
