The piece
The Kastor Pencil Sharpener, designed by Rodrigo Torres in 2013 for Alessi, is a whimsical desktop accessory modeled after a beaver (“castoro” in Italian). Made of chrome-plated zamak, it features finely crafted details—eyes, teeth, paws, and tail—and sharpens pencils via the beaver’s “mouth.” With a solid build that doubles as a paperweight and a removable base cap for easy shavings disposal, it blends playful visual identity with everyday usefulness.

The brand
Alessi is known as the "Dream Factory" of Italian design. Founded in 1921, it transformed the kitchenware and home accessories sector by inviting architects to work with metal. Under Alberto Alessi's vision, pieces like the Juicy Salif juicer by Philippe Starck or the kettle by Michael Graves ceased to be mere utensils and became icons of postmodernism. Alessi represents the perfect fusion of industrial production and art. Buying an original Alessi means bringing a museum piece to your table, crafted in high-quality stainless steel, combining irony, functionality, and timeless aesthetics.
