Alessi
Alessi is one of the most influential Italian design brands, known for transforming everyday household objects into expressive design pieces. Founded in 1921 in Omegna, Italy, the company has collaborated with some of the world’s most renowned architects and designers to create objects that combine functionality with artistic expression.
Over the decades Alessi has developed a unique approach to industrial design, often described as a “dream factory,” where designers are invited to experiment with form, humor and emotion. The result is a wide range of iconic objects for the kitchen and home that blur the line between functional tools and collectible design.
Today Alessi remains a leading voice in contemporary design, producing objects that celebrate creativity, craftsmanship and the joy of everyday rituals.
Brand classics
Il Conico and La Conica
Il Conico and La Conica are among the most recognizable objects designed by architect Aldo Rossi for Alessi. Characterized by their geometric purity and architectural form, the pieces translate Rossi’s architectural language into functional kitchen objects. The designs combine stainless steel construction with a strong sculptural presence, turning everyday tools into iconic design statements.
Plissé
The Plissé collection by Michele De Lucchi draws inspiration from the pleated surfaces of fashion textiles. The distinctive folded geometry gives the appliances a sculptural character while maintaining their practical function. The collection reinterprets everyday kitchen tools through expressive form and playful elegance.
Anna G and Alessandro
Anna G and Alessandro are two of Alessi’s most famous objects, designed by Alessandro Mendini. These playful corkscrews have become symbols of the brand, combining functionality with humor and personality. Their expressive human-like forms reflect Mendini’s vision of design as an emotional and storytelling object.
