Alessi Merdolino Plastic Toilet Brush

Part of a collection presented in 1992 that scandalized design prudes, this pretty lavatory brush was the champion of the redemption of its type, for the first time considered by the design world. Re-proposed in an all-golden form, it has become a paradoxical object par excellence: It contradicts current logic, surprising with its oddity, and becomes an art object dedicated to collectors.
