Alessi celebrates 100 years of design
Alessi launches 12 new collections celebrating 100 years of design excellence and creativity, with special editions of iconic pieces by Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, Philippe Starck and more
The Twergi collection, with, from left, Sottsass’ pepper, salt and spice mills, now in a new colourway; a magnetic photo holder by Bortolani Becchelli Associati; the ‘Ercolino’ bottle opener by Andrea Branzi; Sottsass’ original jar; a photo frame by Kuno Prey; Sottsass’ relaunched corkscrew and original fruit bowl
From Philippe Starck’s squid-inspired juicer to Alessandro Mendini’s anthropomorphic corkscrew and Michael Graves’ kettle with bird-shaped whistle, the Italian brand Alessi has become synonymous with humorous designs that combine colourful resin details with playful shapes (many of which are made of stainless steel, the firm’s material of choice since its founding in 1921).
