About
Why this artist matters now
Alessi is an Italian design and manufacturing company founded in Crusinallo in 1921, specializing in postwar domestic objects and tableware in stainless steel and aluminum. The firm became known for collaborating with avant-garde designers to produce functional household items that challenged the distinction between industrial manufacture and artistic authorship. Operating across modernist and postmodern periods, Alessi established a distinctive approach to mass production that preserved individual designer vision within commercial output.
