Founded in 1921, Alessi has always stood out for the high quality of its products that are characterized by design expertise and excellence. During almost a century of history, the company has gradually evolved to become one of the leading factories of Italian design.
Always seeking for change and international development, Alessi managed to maintain its strong bond with the traditions and cultural background and to be synonymous with handcrafted objects with high-end aesthetics. Alessi’s mission is translating its quest for innovative, traditional, artistic, design with functional quality into mass production.
Designer products are the result of the constant reconciliation of art and industry, combining the creative potential with the needs of the market. The company is committed to a design approach in which the most advanced expression of international creativity is always balanced with the desires of the general public.
Alessi has been described as a “Dream Factory”, which uses its products to make people’s dreams come true, providing them with the Art and Poetry that they seek. The company has collaborated with several world famous architects and designers such as Zaha Hadid, Philippe Starck, Stefano Giovannoni, Livio Castiglioni, Daniel Libeskind and many more.
The majority of Alessi products are manufactured through the cold working of metals, a tradition that is still kept alive by the skilled workforces at the Crusinallo plant in Omegna. Over time, Alessi also began to work with many other materials, such as porcelain, glass, wood, and plastic manufactured in various production areas across the world under Alessi’s guidelines and with the same quality standards and originality.
