From the encounter of Alessi and illy, two Italian excellences in design and coffee culture, comes a revolutionary coffeemaker that combines technology developed by illycaffè in the field of heat and fluid dynamics with Alessi’s design experience.

The espresso coffee maker Pulcina by Alessi, designed by Michele de Lucchi is is the product of intense research into the optimisation of the shape of the coffee pot in order to improve and enhance the organoleptic properties of coffee. Thanks to the internal shape of its special heater, Pulcina automatically stops filtering the coffee at the right moment. This interruption helps to eliminate the eruption phase, the final filtering stage that generates a burnt and bitter aftertaste, ensuring that only the finest qualities of the coffee are preserved and enhancing its full-bodied and rounded aroma. The spout is quite pronounced. Its typical 'V' shape, reminiscent of a baby chick’s beak, is specially designed to perfectly cut drops when pouring. Practical and functional, making coffee with the Pulcina is just like making it with a traditional coffee pot.

An object that expressly refers to what psychoanalysis has called the “maternal code”, Mary Biscuit by Alessi is a box for sweets whose shape reflects its function: it is a “big cookie”. The aroma of biscuits emanates from the cover.

Mami Lid by Alessi. After "La Cintura di Orione" by Richard Sapper and "Falstaf" by Alessandro Mendini, Alessi entrusted a designer from the new generation with the difficult task of firing the public's imagination by exploring the archaic continent of “potness”. Stefano Giovannoni, whose style is an explicit reference to a poetry of affections, has brought his interpretation to ancient terracotta pots. Ah, the warmth of familiar aromas in good, big, round pots "with two ears" (as Catullus wrote), here made of functional and practical stainless steel.

Part of the Mami Collection of kitcheware and tableware that includes oven dishes and frying pans in pressure-cast aluminium with a non-stick coating, a pasta-set and a pressure cooker, as well as a cutlery service and superb kitchen knives.

Parrot Sommelier Corkscrew by Alessi. Designed by Alessandro Mendini, Parrot is a sommelier corkscrew in cast aluminium and PC and is available in 3 different versions.

Since 2003, the year Alessandro M. joins Anna G., Alessi has all been waiting for a new element of surprise on the corkscrew front. Parrot, the practical, pocket-sized sommelier corkscrew, has been designed to meet these expectations.

Mami Stockpot by Alessi. After "La Cintura di Orione" by Richard Sapper and "Falstaf" by Alessandro Mendini, Alessi entrusted a designer from the new generation with the difficult task of firing the public's imagination by exploring the archaic continent of “potness”.

Kitchen Timer with mechanical movement by Alessi. A timeless design available in different colours.

A best seller since it was first produced in 1994, Anna G. corkscrew by Alessi is a tongue-in-cheek homage to a real woman. The smiling face has become something of a cult figure over the years, giving birth (so to speak) to a rich family of objects for the table and kitchen in a wide range of materials.

Mami steamer by Alessi. Steam cooking basket, designed by designer Stefano Giovannoni for the Mami collection, is perfect for those who love healthy cuisine without sacrificing taste. The basket is made of polished stainless steel 18/10 and is equipped with two handles.

Made of glass and offered in four different sizes, the Alessi Circus jars with hermetic lids can be used to store various food items, locking in all their freshness, aroma and flavour.

For these objects Marcel Wanders imagines a decoration reminiscent of the merry-go-rounds often set up along with the circus big top. The lid is decorated with the traditional red and white stripes of fairground ride awnings, while the gold coloured knob conjures up the ornamental element that adorns the centre. The result is enchanting: Wanders transforms classic kitchen jars into cheerful mini fairground rides.

Alessi Circus Collection is part of the Officina Alessi range, which includes the brand's most exclusive, innovative and experimental products.


 

9093 Kettle by Alessi. This iconic kettle with the bird that sings when the water has boiled was a great success when it was introduced in 1985, and for Alessi it represented a meeting of great design and mass production methods, a combination that Michael Graves worked hard to achieve, applying his personal visual code which fused influences from Art Deco to Pop Art and even the language of cartoons. A true must-have in every kitchen. 

Mami Black Lid by Alessi. The designer Stefano Giovannoni took also in the covers of Mami pots the soft and cozy lines of traditional cooking tools. All the series are made of high quality materials such as stainless steel 18/10 and silicone resin covering for the black version.

Big Ovo Box by Alessi. One of the best results of the Memory Containers metaproject, coordinated by Centro Studi Alessi in the early 1990s. The "Biological Project" workshop (to which this series belongs) explored the theme of design expression associated with intuition, in a new relationship between man and nature.

Edo Lid by Alessi. The concave shape and the knob of the lids of the Edo pans remind the observer of a beret sitting on a work surface: a nod to Patricia Urquiola's Basque origins. Thanks to this unique shape, the lid can accommodate a spoon or a ladle to mix food during cooking.

Designed by Patricia Urquiola, Edo pots blend different cultural references and formal suggestions. A richness of references that evokes the very essence of cooking: diverse ingredients creating delicious dishes. Edo refers to the Latin "edere" - that is "to eat" - but it is also the ancient name of Tokyo, where the pots with simple and graceful lines that inspired the designer come from. The design of the Edo series is softened by formal elements such as the light flare of the containers or the line of the handles reminiscent of ribbons pinned to a dress, which becomes a distinctive feature of the entire the entire cookware line.

Kalisto' 2 Kitchen Box by Alessi. One of the best results of the Memory Containers metaproject, coordinated by Centro Studi Alessi in the early 1990s and which involved 200 young designers (aged under 30) working in the area of archetypes for presenting and offering food.

Mami Fondue Set by Alessi. Fondue sets are on another planet in the complex universe of kitchen utensils. There are lots of types of fondue, quite different from each other and rooted in quite different culinary cultures. All fondues share the same cooking method (which varies from simmering to slow frying or melting) that is achieved with a casserole or a pot placed over a heat source that is taken directly to the table.

On the basis of these differing needs, the aim in the project of the Mami fondue set was to create a truly complete system of objects for all aspects of this type of cooking. In fact, the small tray base and stand with diffuser plate complete with burner (which operates both with paste and with alcohol) may be combined with the classic, long-handled steel casserole, with heat-diffusing base (which functions on all types of heat sources, including induction plates), typical of the Bourguignonne fondue, as well as the traditional stove-top ceramic casserole, ideal for cheese and for chocolate fondues. There are also forks with three prongs and widened palms for cheeses, chocolate and whatever else needs to be put together each time, even for just a part of the sauce. The system is completed by a “Lazy Susan”, a huge, wood revolving container for the complete set, with small stainless steel and ceramic sauce bowls.

Anna Gong by Alessi is designer Mendini’s tribute to the legendary folding cake stand “art. 898” that was one of Alessi’s best seller for quite some time in the 60s. Anna Gong has, like its predecessor, two aspects and two uses: when closed, it’s a table-top scultpture; when open, it becomes a multi-tier Cake stand that can be used at the table.

Valerio Citrus Squeezer by Alessi. One utensil, two functions. Guido Venturini has created a practical kitchen accessory with plastic, ergonomic lines that combine a minimalist citrus squeezer and a small pestle. Each end of this dual-purpose tool is designed to function as the handle for the opposite end, offering a comfortable grip for ease of use. A small weight positioned inside the hollow body at the pestle end, keeps the object upright when placed on a flat surface.

Far from the anonymous design of traditional food containers, Food à porter combines functionality with a decidedly aesthetic value, in a formal tribute to the bento boxes and the Japanese lacquerware. A spacious lunch box, compact and versatile, divided into three containers with a choice of two lids, depending on your choice of lunch. For enjoying lunch wherever you desire, at work or out in the open air. Ideal for those who want to enjoy food prepared at home, or those who follow a specific diet.
