Rossi La Conica Large Espresso / Coffee Maker in Mirror Polished by Alessi

Description

Designed between 1980 and 1983, this coffee maker began life as an evolution of the “Tea&Coffee Piazza” project, which saw famous architects taking up the challenge of designing a tea and coffee service. It was Rossi’s first mass-produced design, and its strongly iconic image earned it immediate success for the then-new Officina Alessi brand, as well as becoming an 1980s design symbol.

Aldo Rossi

Born in Milan (1931-1997), Aldo Rossi is considered by many to be the greatest Italian architect of the second half of the 20th century. His life as an architect started with Gardella and Zanuso. An author of abstraction, reduction and brevitas, his severe language of primary shapes, geometrical patterns and silent evocation created some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design in his age.
