The Alessi Toru NE03 is a two-slice toaster designed by the Japanese studio Nendo, built around a polished 18/10 stainless steel body with a black thermoplastic element that appears to run straight through it, forming the carrying handles. It suits anyone who wants a sculptural, minimalist toaster that still handles daily breakfasts.
Key features
- Stainless steel body — durable, easy to wipe clean.

Good to know
Designed by Nendo for Alessi and made in China to Alessi’s Italian design standards; the crumb drawer slides out from the base for easy emptying.
The toaster’s rounded footprint and low profile mean it sits comfortably on most worktops, and its compact size makes it a practical option for smaller kitchens as well as design-focused ones.
