Alessi | Founded in northern Italy by Giovanni Alessi Anghini as a manufacturer of metal components. Alessi began to produce everyday domestic and catering products in the late 1920s. From 1932 it developed an independent design policy under the direction of Carlo Alessi the son of Giovanni Alessi. From the 1980s Alessi has become widely recognized internationally for its technical and stylistic innovations and often slightly idiosyncratic, yet highly fashionable, Postmodern products by leading designers such as Michael Graves, Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, Matteo Thun, and Philippe Starck. In Italy Alessi products generally cater for everyday purposes, whereas in the valuable export markets its more design-conscious products are seen to represent the stylishness and fashionability of Italian design.
