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.
Electric version of the famous kettle with the bird, it represents for Alessi the meeting point between great design and large-scale production methods, a meeting obstinately sought by Michael Graves, applying his personal visual code that blends influences from Art Deco to Pop Art up to the language of cartoons.
The magical atmosphere of the Stanza dello Scirocco inspired the design of the fruit bowl of the same name, a movement of steel tiles that leaves room for imagination. Length 27 cm, height 13
“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.
Juicy Salif, the design icon par excellence and citrus juicer with a revolutionary yet surprisingly functional design. Outlined in its essential features by Philippe Starck during a seaside holiday in Italy, on a pizzeria placemat. Omnipresent in homes all over the world, and exhibited in the most prestigious museums on the world scene, Juicy Salif is much more than a simple citrus juicer: it has now become an icon of international industrial design.
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.
