will-o’-the-wisp ‘an object dedicated to rustic cooks, explorers of taste, world-travelling gourmets, bucolic sophisticates and lovers of life in the open air. more of a traveling-case than a domestic utensil. an essential, multi-form structure, ideal for cooking on deserted islands, exotic boats, garden terraces, and even in old courtyards, age-old parks, roof-top terraces, canal banks. its presence is never mundane, never common; simple, upbeat shapes evoking a domestic life in which no detail is overlooked.’ -piero lissoni
