The design firm Alessi, founded in 1922 by the three Alessi brothers, has always been a favorite of mine ever since I was young. I think I was first drawn in by the playful take on household everyday items. The pieces are very colorful, crazy and always eye-catching. Alessi is generally seen as being post-modern, as there is a lot of stainless steel pieces/appliances.
For a Year 8 Design and Technology I based the design of clock on the person figure kitchen box (pictured below).
With designers such as Philippe Starck (Juicy Salif 1), Massimo Giacon (Mr Suicide 2) and Michael Graves (Kettle 3) designing limited pieces for the brand which brings an outside perspectives to the brand therefor rejuvenating the brand everytime a new designer is welcomed. New designers create a fresh range of ideas, which boosts the brands image and widens the customer base.
