Alessi

Founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi, the Alessi brand has been at the forefront of innovative and inspired product design for nearly a century. Passed to his son Alberto, who collaborated with artist Salvador Dalí, and in turn, to his grandson Carlo, who runs the brand today, Alessi is the name behind a dynasty of cult objects that continue to surprise and delight in the 21st Century. The Anna G. corkscrew, whose curved silhouette and smiling face is rumoured to be inspired by designer Allesandro Mendini’s ex-girlfriend, and Philippe Stark’s Juicy Salif lemon squeezer, an alien-esque design that can be found in New York’s Museum of Modern Art, are just two of the iconic products upon which the brand’s legacy is anchored.
