Traditionally a twig, but in the interpretation by Giulio Iacchetti this fundamental accessory of the mixologist is crystallized in stainless steel. An original reinterpretation of the “Bâton Lélé” bar stirrer which, enhanced by the technical knowledge of Oscar Quagliarini, gives rise to an innovative implement without betraying its natural origin.
About the Tending Box: The collection of articles for preparing cocktails designed by Giulio lacchetti with bartender Oscar Quagliarini.
In a balanced synthesis of form and function, the most classic tools of this 'discipline' have been reinterpreted: cocktail shaker, bar strainer, mixing glass, cocktail measure, mixing spoon and bar stirrer.
Thanks to Oscar Quagliarini's accurate innovative suggestions, this project rethinks the very gestures of mixology, introducing new technical features and refined aesthetic details from the knob of the Parisienne shaker, which assures a precise and secure grip, to the double spring of the strainer which allows for accurate modulation of the straining, and the "Quadri Combo Jigger" which reinterprets the traditional cocktail measure, creating a new type with innovative performance.
