Working from a desire to introduce the public at large to the quality and exclusivity of the finest contemporary design, they have created a line of "democratic" and accessible products for every home.
This innovative 1 cup espresso machine was the result of designer Aldo Rossi's lengthy research into coffee makers. Cast from aluminium, with a light blue PA handle and knob, this was Rossi's answer to the classic espresso coffee maker, and his attempt to fulfil the dream of a coffee maker for all.
"Aldo had a way of relating to our engineers that was worlds away from what we had experienced. He made sketches, presented them, and then waited for the engineers to make all their comments and changes, even sweeping ones. To him it seemed as if everything would be OK! For my Uncle and Casalino, fresh from the relationship with Sapper, this was a scandalous attitude. One day my Uncle even said to him, in his grumpy way, 'But, really, couldn't you bring us finished designs rather than these sketches which are only half done?' That was the only time I ever saw Rossi get angry. He answered, dryly, that if we wanted final-draft technical designs, then we could get them from Zanuso, but not from him. Rossi's attitude helped me to understand an approach to design not restricted to himself, but shared to some degree by all or almost all designers who have experience as architects." - Alberto Alessi, La Fabbrica Dei Sogni
Born in Milan (1931-1997), Rossi was 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.
This product is also available from Amazon in black, and with a 3 or 6 cup capacity.
