Falling like so many rose petals for the Colombina tableware we recently posted. The porcelain dishes are, in fact, reminiscent of petals, randomly layered, the bowl suggesting the pistil of a flower. So, too, the stainless steel flatware with each piece's stem-like handles and budding tips.

The collection was created by Doriana Mandrelli and her husband Massimiliano Fuksas for Alessi. The Italian duo have been major powers in the world of architecture for four decades, sharing a vision for distinguishing the organic poetry in bold, no-frills forms.

The collection is already at aplusrstore.com, and will be a part of the cherry-picked selection of tableware from several brands we will be introducing at the new A+R store in coming weeks.
