An essential accessory for lovers of design and coffee... Alessi and designer Michele de Lucchi revisit the Barista capsule coffee maker. This version is adorned with the pretty pleats characteristic of the Plissé collection. Festive and cheerful, the Plissé collection of small appliances draws its inspiration from the fashion world of the 50s and 60s, when skirts were pleated to give the fabric a floating, airy effect. According to Michele De Lucchi, who designed the Plissé collection for Alessi, "A form without pleats is only a volume without form".

ABOUT ALESSI

For over a century, Alessi has been creating extraordinary objects that make people dream, feel, think and experience poetry in their daily lives. By collaborating with the best creative minds from around the world, Alessi brings the most unexpected and contemporary expressions of design culture into people’s homes.

The Italian company was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi and initially concentrated on metal kitchenware. His products and designs of coffee pots became so popular, that by 1924 the brand name ‘Alessi’ was well established.

By the 1950s the company broadened its approach, deciding to collaborate with well-known designers. The aim was to break away from modernism and even traditional designs and to try more unconventional design ideas, including those from groups such as Studio Alchima (Alessandro Mendini) and Memphis (Ettore Sottsass). Other designers associated with Alessi include Aldo Rossi, Philippe Starck and Michael Graves. The collaborative and creative approach they use has become the hallmark of the Alessi brand.

Alessi is now a B Corp, a company which strives to maximise the positive impact they have on their employees, the communities in which they operate and the environment, by using the business as a force for regeneration and sustainability.
