Maya Basket – Purple to Green

Maya Basket by Alessi – A Three-Dimensional Graphic Masterpiece.

The Maya Basket is where minimalist geometry meets luxurious Italian artistry. Originally conceived in the 1970s by celebrated designer Giulio Confalonieri, this iconic piece embodies an essential yet mysteriously reflective form—an almost otherworldly simplicity that reveals new facets with every glance. What began as a striking graphic design evolved into a sculptural object, meticulously translated into sheet steel through precision cold-forming, giving the basket its crisp lines and shimmering presence.

In its newest 25 cm edition, the Maya Basket reintroduces Confalonieri’s original, elegant vision in a polished stainless-steel finish—and expands it with two dazzling, iridescent colorways that glide between lush green and deep violet. These tonal shifts create a living surface, changing with the light and adding a luxurious aura that feels both modern and timeless.

Whether styled as a centerpiece, a functional vessel, or a sculptural statement, the Maya Basket elevates any space with its refined simplicity, artistic heritage, and mesmerizing play of reflections. It’s not just a basket—it’s a design icon reimagined for the contemporary home.

Available in Green-Purple or Purple-Green
