Shot Hip Flask / Alessi
Alessi's Shot is a hip flask rethought as a sculptural object rather than a piece of pocket hardware. Designed by LPWK with Paolo Gerosa, it is formed in 18/10 mirror-polished stainless steel with a soft, almost liquid profile that sits comfortably in the hand and refers, in its shape, to what it holds. The name points to its purpose: a small, discreet measure rather than sustained drinking. Capacity is around 150ml, and a removable funnel is included to keep filling clean. There is no separate cup or added gadgetry. The flask is a single resolved form with a screw closure, and as solid steel it can be washed without special care. Its interest lies in proportion and finish rather than features.
Design intent
- +The body is shaped to the hand and to its own metaphor, a flowing form that signals what it carries, since a flask has little mechanism to express otherwise.
- +A funnel is supplied separately rather than built in, keeping the flask itself a clean single volume while still solving the practical problem of filling a narrow neck.
Trade-offs
- -At roughly 150ml it holds little. This is a flask for an occasional measure, not a day's supply, and it is honest about that.
- -The mirror polish marks and shows fingerprints readily; like most polished steel it looks its best wiped clean rather than carried hard.
