'Tonale' Line by David Chipperfield Architects for Alessi

This post on dishware the other day got us thinking about ways to blend different colors or styles of dishes into one cohesive set. Then we saw the new 'Tonale' line by architect David Chipperfield for Alessi. Wow. Despite the use of glass, wood, and ceramics in several different colors, the set feels calm and beautifully unified.
