Itsumo - Yunoki ware
Alessi > Styling
Itsumo, which in Japanese means "everyday and forever", is the tableware set designed by Naoto Fukasawa and enhanced with the addition of a decorated version, the result of the designer’s collaboration with the ultra-centenarian artist Samiro Yunoki. A project with a minimalist aesthetic that embodies all the attention to detail and the poetry of Japanese culture. The two versions proposed, white and decorated, allow you to mix and match elements to create an entirely personal set.
Eugenia
Alessi > Styling
Designed by Naoto Fukasawa with the consultation of an oenologist, this glass allows white wine to fully express its delicate aromas and flavours. The white wine glass from the Eugenia set respects the slender shape of the type; the rim closes slightly, directing the aromas towards the nose, and the long stem prevents warming the wine with the heat of the hands.
Itsumo
Alessi > Styling
Designed by Naoto Fukasawa, this coffee cup is part of the Itsumo collection, which means "everyday use" in Japanese. Dedicated to design enthusiasts who seek elegance in every daily gesture, it is an object with an essential yet refined form for a pleasant ritual that accompanies our days.
Eugenia
Alessi > Styling
Designed by Naoto Fukasawa for the Eugenia glass set, this carafe features an entirely original design: its elongated shape recalls the other elements of the service, capped at the end by a rim that rises slightly vertically. It is called "Donkaku," a term in Japanese that signifies the obtuse angle—a detail chosen by Fukasawa to characterize the minimalist design of all the elements in the service.
Itsumo - Yunoki ware
Alessi > Table
As part of the Itsumo service, which in Japanese means "everyday use", this mug is distinguished by its peculiar edge design – a curve with obtuse angle chosen by Naoto Fukasawa as a distinctive feature of the entire series. This detail not only adds to the object's aesthetic appeal but also makes it pleasant and intriguing to touch, to hold in one's hands while enjoying a favorite drink.
Itsumo
Alessi > Styling
This minimally designed cup is part of the Itsumo collection, which originated from Naoto Fukasawa's desire to create a set suitable for contemporary food culture, characterised by a wide variety of dishes and a mix of traditions. It’s an object with a simple line, suitable for foods from different cultures.
Dervisci
Alessi > Styling
The Dervisci tumblers by Michele De Lucchi were inspired by the spinning movement of the turning-lathe used to model sheet metal on a die, progressively shaping the object's volume. De Lucchi associates the rotating machine with the dance of whirling dervishes, who reach a state of trance by reciting prayers while continuously spinning round and round, a symbol of planets orbiting. The sculptural, dynamic design of the three Dervisci tumblers is enhanced by the different finishes of the metal surface: polished steel; steel with copper PVD coating; steel with brass PVD coating; and steel with satined gunmetal PVD coating.

Conca
Alessi > Styling
Giulio Iacchetti did not only co-create this first instalment of Il Tornitore Matto with Alberto Alessi, but also participated in the project as a designer, offering us the reinterpretation of an ancient type of jug called a conca, common in central and southern Italy. It is a capacious vessel used to contain and transport water. Equipped with two handles, the conca was either balanced atop the head to carry it, or left at the entrance of the home, allowing people to drink as soon as they arrived. Iacchetti maintained the traditional shape of two opposed and stacked cones, and worked on the design of the characteristic handles to create a single curved line that traces out the object's entire profile.
Compressioni
Alessi > Styling
With his Compressioni project, Paolo Ulian has conceived a new way of forming sheet metal, a method that reveals uncanny expressivity. The containers are first made on a lathe, then compressed to obtain the final shape. The folds created on the bottom of the objects are almost magically arranged in geometric patterns – squares, pentagons, hexagons and octagons – giving fascinating regularity to the elements' unique differences.
Coppa Camuna
Alessi > Accessories
The Coppa Camuna stems from the designer’s fascination with the age-old tradition of ironworking rooted in the Valle Camonica, located in the Central Alps between the provinces of Brescia and Bergamo. In Bienno, the ‘village of a thousand forges’, where this archaic craftsman’s knowledge is preserved, Iacchetti found those who could help him develop the project for an iron container. Thus was born a dialogue between the designer and the craftsmen of Bienno, a joint journey that gradually led from an initial design to an initial shape and from this – in a sort of evolution of the species – to the final artefact. The Coppa Camuna has an apparently brutalist form that recalls that of a war helmet but turned upside down towards the sky, transformed into a container ready to hold a flower or to become an instrument of offering. An extraordinary subversion of meaning, in other words, that converts a symbol of war into an artefact of offering. The production process in turn contains a passage of meaning, from strength to offering: the iron, turned with powerful energy and then passed through fire for the final treatment with wax, becomes a poetic object to contain, as its designer says, “the things of life”.

Alessi > Styling
With his Compressioni project, Paolo Ulian has conceived a new way of forming sheet metal, a method that reveals uncanny expressivity. Composed of a basket, a centrepiece and an "unprecedented object", his triad of objects is a powerful encapsulation of the experiments he entertained with a master turner at his side. The three containers are first made on a lathe, then compressed to obtain the final shape. Trial after trial, it became clear that the deformations caused by crushing the semifinished articles were relatively controllable variables. The folds created on the bottom of the objects were almost magically arranged in geometric patterns – squares, pentagons, hexagons and octagons – giving fascinating regularity to the elements' unique differences.
La Bella Tavola and My Beautiful China
Alessi > Styling
Made of porcelain, the soup bowl from the La Bella Tavola and My Beautiful China collection reveals Ettore Sottsass’s extraordinary sense of proportion. Its wide rims form a distinctive "collar" around the central well, while the unique cobalt blue pattern, with softly blurred edges, allows for harmonious pairings with the dinner plate from the same series or with the elegant white version.
La Bella Tavola
Alessi > Styling
Elegance and design history in a cup. Ideal for filter coffee, herbal teas, or infusions, this white porcelain cup reflects the formal purity of Ettore Sottsass. The handle forms a soft curve for a comfortable grip, keeping fingers away from the heat. The profiles are thin yet durable thanks to modern production processes, enhancing the cup's volume. It can be paired with a matching tea saucer—available in white or decorated—to suit your personal taste and preferences.
La Bella Tavola
Alessi > Styling
The La Bella Tavola coffee saucer complements the cup by completing its naturally proportioned design. The wide rim ensures a secure and comfortable grip. The porcelain, shaped using modern isostatic presses, features slim yet durable profiles. The cup, sold separately, can be paired with this saucer for a uniform chromatic set, or with the decorated one for a refined contrast.

Tronchetto
Alessi > Styling
This object is open to multiple interpretations depending on the eye that observes it. When completed by a flower, the Tronchetto vase becomes a cross, "one of those ambient signs that independently of religious questions are able to change the significance of a space all on their own," says Andrea Branzi. Such entrenched anthropological symbols communicate to us in an ancestral language that they are mysterious entities, objects with a spirit, just like this simple and enigmatic vase.

Trumpet
Alessi > Styling
Inspired by the trumpet-blowing White Rabbit that Alice follows down the rabbit hole to Wonderland, Michael Anastassiades's Trumpet vases are produced the same way as the bell of this ancient wind instrument. He chose for one of the most traditional techniques of hand-turned metal, whereby a disk of metal, usually brass, is formed. Its diameter is then progressively narrowed to the size of a finger, which allows the piece to be welded to the rest of the object's body. This process is used to build most wind instruments. In Anastassiades's poetic eye, it gives shape to flower vases whose convex underside curves up into the shaft as an ulterior connection to the shape of the object by which it was inspired. Available in two versions, brass and silver-plated brass.
Discolo
Alessi > Accessories
Fascinated by the aluminium trays used in Cologne, Germany to serve the local Kölschstyle beer, Federico Angi designed a seemingly elementary and familiar object. Discolo is a centrepiece with a generous rim that conceals a complex design and production details. The anodized aluminium comes in three colours – orange, green and sky blue – that emphasise the object's shape and give it a strong scenic presence.

The Edges family is adorned with delicate edging reminiscent of embroidered trim. Nika Zupanc embraced the iconicity and immediacy of small, perforated holes running along the outer edges of this small collection. Instead of being a decoration for its own sake, it aims to create a direct relationship between us and the items. Although simple and easy to understand, the embellishment is employed to create an instantaneous emotive impact.

The graceful Kuru Kuru is composed of a tray, carafe and cup, three elements that hark back to their archetypes. By reinterpreting simple shapes of universal tradition, Naoto Fukasawa creates new objects of daily use. Kuru Kuru is a Japanese term for the turning-lathe, the main technique used to make the three objects. The humble forms breathe with elegance and kindness, while quiet power transpires from their continuous, flowing outline. The three objects are available separately, in two versions: stainless steel and stainless steel with copper PVD coating.
