“Il conico” is the architecturally derived kettle created by Aldo Rossi: made of 18/10 stainless steel, it is the transformation of his geometric designs into a kitchen object, which soon became a design icon.
The soft lines of this juicer, made almost entirely of stainless steel, clearly reveal Stefano Giovannoni’s search for a sort of new classicism, of harmony, for the domestic landscape of this century.
The 9093 kettle with bird-shaped whistle is one of the best-selling Alessi objects in the world. The design of this kettle, created by Michael Graves in 1985, blends cultured influences from European art, American Pop and references to pre-Columbian cultures. The extraordinary success that the kettle has achieved since the year of its production is due to this very personal visual language of Graves. A cultured and elegant object, but at the same time playful and fun: when the water boils the bird sings, inevitably raising a smile. Kettle in 18\/10 stainless steel and thermoplastic resin. Magnetic steel bottom suitable for induction cooking
The 9091 kettle has a melodic brass whistle with a new shape, made up of two small pipes in which choristers are inserted which reproduce the notes E and B. Richard Sapper created it inspired by a childhood memory, the poetic sound of the sirens of the boats on the Rhine river: because the melody that accompanies the release of the steam must be pleasant, not anxiety-provoking like the typical whistle of kettles. The 9091 kettle is a multi-sensorial object, which will not interrupt a pleasant pause with a whistle, but with an enveloping melody.
Convivio was born from a dialogue between the Pritzker prize winner David Chipperfield and the starred chef Pietro Leemann, whose different skills came together in the creation of this collection. The name Convivio wants to pay homage to cooking as an act that is both aesthetic and convivial, capable of building community by gathering people around the preparation and pleasure of food. The designer’s design approach is revealed in the centrality of the material, exalted in its simplicity and purity in a refined juxtaposition of consistencies and surfaces.
The conica, the first espresso coffee maker project by architect Aldo Rossi, was born from a play of simple geometric shapes that form a mini table architecture, with a concise and elegant style. A timeless icon, the conica has a stainless steel body and a copper bottom: a refined object, with essential geometric lines that give life to a functional tool with which to prepare and serve coffee.
