La conica
Espresso coffee maker
CHF 325.00
Produced since 1984, La conica was born as an evolution of the Tea&Coffee Piazza operation, which had seen major architects engaged on the theme of designing a coffee and tea service for Alessi. A symbol of the dialectical relationship between architecture and domestic landscape, La conica lends its name to an interpretation beyond the obviously geometric one: Laconia, the homeland of the Spartans, gave birth to a manner of speech marked by its brevity, precision, and unflinching directness - laconic. Moreover, in antiquity the Laconic hypocaust was an intensely heated room, not unlike the boiler of a coffee pot.
Rossi
In Rossi’s designs there is an evident relationship (often ironic, always clarifying) between the design object and built architecture.
