Tea & Coffee Towers project by Officina Alessi

presented at the Milan Furniture fair 2003

2003

Alessi’s ‘Tea and Coffee Towers’ project is a new landscape of objects designed by contemporary architects,
an exhibition that combines the expression of architecture with the language of design.

The ‘Tea and Coffee Towers’ has a precedent in the Alessi history: the ‘Tea and Coffee Piazza’, developed between 1979 and 1983, it led to a collaboration between Alessi and Aldo Rossi and Michael Graves.

Where is the contemporary idea of ‘domestic’ objects heading? It might be worthwhile studying and comparing the visions of these different designers/architecs.
