Alessi NF03 Cha Sugar Bowl
The sugar bowl Cha (Japanese for tea), designed by Naoto Fukasawa, has refined and linear forms, typical of the designer’s expressive approach. The sugar bowl has apparently simple forms that conceal a painstaking eye for every single detail and is designed to be practical and easy to handle thanks to the flared lines that make it easier to hold. The half moon designed along the perimeter of the latter can be used to accommodate a teaspoon.

Naoto Fukasawa
Japan, 1956
Naoto Fukasawa was born in Yamanashi, Japan, in 1956 and graduated from Tama Art University in 1980. His career began at Seiko Epson, where he designed products such as wrist TVs and mini printers using micro-technology.
He then moved to the United States and in 1989 joined the San Francisco design firm ID Two, the predecessor to IDEO. There, he worked on a number of products related to Silicon Valley's computing and electronics industry. He was also involved in the development of a design language and design concept for Apple.
Fukasawa has worked on product development for many well-known brands and companies around the world, winning numerous awards for his efforts. His affiliation with Magis produced the Déjá-vu family of home furnishings, which is distinguished by its use of D-shaped aluminum extrusions. "This one distinctive extrusion enabled us to create a whole family of products," says Fukasawa.
In 2007 the Déjá-vu chair won Magis the Interior Innovation Award (Best Item), IMM, Cologne and in 2008 it was nominated for the Designpreis der Bundesrepublik in Germany.
