Blue Merdolino Toilet Brush Alessi

Merdolino is one of the most successful examples of the playful cartoon language typical of Stefano Giovannoni's projects from the 1990s. The designer deals with the necessary, but "prohibited" object of a toilet brush and turns it into a slim pot, which houses a beautiful, long bush.

Merdolino caused a scandal among the conventional design brotherhood, but for years he enjoyed great success.

Available product colors; blue and brown.
