Alessi

Milan


Established in Omegna in 1921, Italy's most famous design factory has gone on to transform our homes with more than 22,000 crafted utensils, many of which have been designed by the world's leading architect-designers. Some of them now reside in the V&A in London and New York's MoMA, but you can find all the best signature pieces at this flagship store.
