Founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi in Omegna, Italy, Alessi began as a workshop specializing in high-quality metal tableware. The company’s transformation into a globally recognized “Italian Design Factory” was driven by Alberto Alessi, the founder's grandson, who joined in 1970. He repositioned the brand as a research laboratory for applied arts, inviting international architects and designers to reimagine everyday objects. This visionary approach turned functional items into pieces of art, embedding poetry and playfulness into industrial production. Alessi is defined by its collaborations with creative masters like Philippe Starck, Michael Graves, and Alessandro Mendini.
