Measuring spaghetti tool in marble made bespoke for Paestum Experience.
The archaeological traces have inspired the design of a small marble object, which has the function of a spaghetti measure and the form of a fragment from a Roman aqueduct. A conception, therefore, that combines two of Italy's most representative icons - spaghetti and classical architecture - this kitchen tool measures pasta for one or more people. We have chosen marble as the material, so beloved of the Ancients who used it to decorate their floors, fountains and architectural ornaments. In addiction to Carrara White, the piece has been made in colourful varieties such as Royal Beige, Asiago Red, Guatemala Green, Tropical Rose, Sunny Gold and Marquinia Black.
The spaghetti measure we designed for Spazio Paestum is like an imaginary fragment: it reminds of the mythical past of the city of Paestum and it is an object that everyone can bring home.
