Offered and sold as a striking pair, these large-format Alessi trays are from the celebrated Girotondo (also known as King-Kong) series. Instantly recognisable by the playful ring of stylised cut-out figures the iconic little men motif, this design became one of Alessis most successful and enduring contemporary classics.

Each tray is crafted in stainless steel with a black coated finish, pierced rim detail, and polished surface. The underside of each example is marked:

A di ALESSI ITALY KING-KONG

The 40 cm diameter gives these trays impressive presence, equally suited to use as serving trays, centrepieces, bar presentation, or as bold wall-mounted decorative objects.
