A watch made by Alessi? Not strange at all! The passion of Alessi for watches begins in the 80s with Achille Castiglioni and Aldo Rossi (who had design the stopwatch called Momento, now a symbolic piece). Then, also many other designers dedicated some of their time to watches: Ron Arad, Alessandro Mendini, Piero Lissoni, Alberto Meda, Patricia Urquiola.

Discover the exclusive design wristwatch collections made by Alessi: men’s watches, women’s watches, children’s watches, stopwatches. Steel or plastic case with leather, steel or plastic strap.

Last,  but not for importance, there is the eccentric Karim Rashid, who, in the year 2005, has designed Kaj, a watch made in polyurethane,  essential but imposing and overall colourfull! It has became a cult through the fashion addicted, enough to gain the favor of Carla Sozzani, who has chosen it for her boutique 10CorsoComo (Milan).

Bathroom?!F.F.F.style

Family Follows Fiction for Bathroom

designed by Stefano Giovannoni, Miriam Mirri, Massimo Giacon, Stefano Pirovano, Elisa Gargan and Guido Venturini

Alessi is not focused only on kitchen and tables accessories but also on all other parts of an house, in order to completely serve people in their everyday life everywhere, always with the creativity and fantasy that makes every object unique and special.

With “Merdolino”, the first object by Alessi for the bathroom, and one that was not free of criticism for having dared touch such a difficult subject, Alessi brought in a welcome breath of poetry to which people were not used but which opened up whole new vistas in development.

All the bathroom collection is made by thermoplastic resin and PP.

F.F.F.

Family Follows Fiction

designed by Stefano Giovannoni, Guido Venturini, Stefano Pirovano, Massimo Giacon, Philippe Starck, Mattia di Rosa, Alejandro Ruiz, Michael Graves, Biagio Cisotti, Alessandro Mendini, Lorena Bozzoli and CSA/LPWK.

A di Alessi products are the result of longstanding collaborations with the best international designers.
Working from a desire to introduce the public at large to the quality and exclusivity of the finest contemporary design, they have created a line of “democratic” and accessible products for every home.
This innovative grater is part of the Family Follows Fiction (F.F.F.) range, hilariously funny and fantasy-inspired products ideal for enlivening any family home.

The metaproject F.F.F. begun in 1991, grew out of a desire to explore the emotional structure of objects, focused in the most delicate, intimate, sensory human needs.
The objects became ludic tools, telling little tales, giving captivating twists to everyday uses, suggesting a mediation with playfulness and becoming a bridge to the fantastical.
At the outset the idea was to reproduce the process of creation and animation of the object common to the world of childhood and to primitive cultures.

Since 2004, the year of “Anna G.” and “Alessandro M.”, we have all been waiting for a new element of surprise on the corkscrew front. “Parrot”, the practical, pocket-sized sommelier corkscrew, has been designed to meet these expectations.
