Elegant, artistic, and utterly practical, the Pulcina Milk Frother from Alessi offers service accompanied by a sculptural appeal, allowing it to be left on display rather than put away. A Michele De Lucchi design, it rests on a slim circular base supporting a stepped body of thermoplastic resin molded and contoured with a concentric stepped-ring texture and accompanied by a prominent switch. The switch activates a steel mixing wand that contrasts well with the housing material, summoning up a fabulous foam with ease.
