The family business Alessi, founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi in the Italian Piedmont, produces unique designer pieces, primarily made of metal. Modern advancements, customer needs, and the desire for practical art objects prompted the Alessi family to create innovative design ideas in industrial mass production. The result is high-quality handcrafted items for kitchen and bathroom use - from tableware to pendant lights to lemon squeezers. Alessi sees itself as a testing ground for renowned designers, is deeply rooted in its traditions, and aims to combine functionality with poetry and art.
