A traditional family business since 1921 and unique in its ability to deliver the best in modern design in various design fields, styles and prices, ALESSI evolved to one of the most important 'Factories of Italian Design' worldwide. Working on the expressive potential of items, matching the most advanced and stimulating expressions of international creative culture with the individual’s requirements and aspirations, ALESSI is most commonly known for its own, unique and whimsical interpretation of everyday household items and even though relying on contemporary, industrial technology and processing equipment nowadays ALESSI products are still considered handicraft items. Envisioning themselves as an artistic mediator ‘attempting to create new objects, introducing a touch of transcendence and helping to each decipher their own modernity’ ALESSI gradually attracted the attention of museums of applied arts and industrial design from all over the world. ALESSI products are exhibited in more permanent museum collections than those of any other design company. ALESSI products are truly a favourite and memorable gift for all special occasions.
