Another Fuksas
“Il caffè Alessi” – by Doriana and Massimilano Fuksas for Officina Alessi
2005
“Il caffè Alessi” stems from the Tea & Coffee Towers project Alessi organized in 2003.
In this project 22 international architects attempted industrial design for the very first time by designing a coffee and tea set. These items were constructed mainly from silver. The production costs were very high making it impossible for a majority of Alessi fans to acquire these sets. So, Alessi has introduced for spring/summer 2005 “Il Caffè Alessi” made of porcelain and designed by two of the architects that partecipated in the first project: Doriana and massimilinao Fuskas.
Together with the two large “E-Li-Li” vases, one stainless steel and the other ceramic and the “Mao-Mao” Rectangular tray, the mocha cups are the first results to be slated for indistrial production, stemming from the research done on the limited series of the “Tea & Coffe Towers” design project.

Colombina collection
Colombina collection – by Doriana Mandrelli and Massimiliano Fuksas for Alessi
an interesting experiment in color and form
2008
With the porcelain and glassware presentation, Doriana and Massimilinao Fuksas have completed the “Colombina Collection”, a table set that not only stands out for its aesthetic quality but offers a refined and ambitious innovation for current dinning services.
The Colombina collection is a lovely design, characterized by a sculptural approach: elegant, new, and pleasing plates, containers and cups made from different materials and different colours. It is a complete set, open to the evolution of being on the table at the same time with its gaming component, its attitude to change and change in the composition of the items on the table.
One thing contains another, or they can easily be placed side by side like a welcoming pile of petals that can be leafed through one by one according to the guests’ preferences and, naturally, the dinner options.
