Alessi, founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi in Italy, began as a metal workshop crafting household items. Over the decades, it evolved into a global design icon, blending functionality with art. In the 1950s, Carlo Alessi introduced sleek, modernist aesthetics, but it was under his son, Alberto Alessi, in the 1970s that the brand truly transformed.

Alberto believed everyday objects could be emotionally engaging, even poetic. He collaborated with visionary architects and designers like Ettore Sottsass, Philippe Starck, and Achille Castiglioni, turning cutlery into sculptural statements. Alessi's pieces, like the playful "Caccia" or minimalist "Dry" cutlery sets, didn’t just serve food—they told stories of innovation and style.

Alessi’s cutlery reflects the company’s core philosophy: high design accessible for domestic life. Each piece is a fusion of industrial precision and artistic expression. Today, Alessi remains a family-run company and a symbol of Italian craftsmanship, continuing to redefine how we experience design—right down to the fork in our hand.
