Álsol pitcher

Álsol, the first product design of the young Spanish studio Smallgran, is a pitcher designed for sangria, allowing to serving the fruit in the same container once the drink is finished.

The Álsol pitcher, through its design, prevents the fruit pieces from falling while serving and it’s able to fit standing in the fridge. In this way, it can be cooled without the need for ice cubes while macerating the fruit, thus freeing up its 1000 ml of capacity entirely for the drink.

All of this achieved with shapes that give the product a rational and timeless look capable of suiting every environment. The pitcher, made of stoneware, is offered in different enamel colours. It comes with a packaging, handmade by the designers themselves, consisting of a reusable jute bag with felt lining to protect and transport the jug.

The product, first one of design studio Smallgran, was developed through 2014 and 2015 under the premise of enhancing the local values of the region through a popular cocktail.

Its creation took place inside a course of the Industrial Design Degree at the Polytechnic University of Valencia taken by the three members of the studio. To further develop the product a collaboration between local craftsmen Pepe Royo and Irina Perez and the designers was established. After publishing the final version of the pitcher, the acknowledgments received motivated the designers to take it to production and offer it to the public as a sample of the studio’s capabilities in the field of product design.

Nine months after, the designers decided to improve the design of the product gathering the lessons learned from the different users experiences. This means a 100ml increase of the capacity of the pitcher and an improved design of the beak.
