Founded in 1921, Alessi has always distinguished itself for its high quality of products, gradually evolving into one of the leading “Factories of Italian design”.The majority of Alessi products have been manufactured through the cold working of metals, a tradition that is kept alive today by the skilled workers at the Crusinallo plant in north Italy. With offices in Europe, Asia and the US and multiple flagship stores in Milan, New York, Paris and Munich, Alessi has an impressive retail network of 3’500 stores, directly managed or multiband, with a strong international presence in over 150 countries.With over 2000 products, including kitchenware, tableware, small domestic appliances, home accessories and gifts, Alessi features over 300 collaborations with worldwide famous designers that team up with the brand to write a chapter of design history.Alessi’s approach, midway between industry and art, together with its continuous experimentation, has attracted the interest of the leading museums of applied arts and design worldwide. Indeed many exhibitions have been organised over the years to showcase the company’s work. Today, Alessi’s objects are displayed as part of the permanent collection, in more than 50 leading museums of applied arts all over the world, including The Museum of Modern Art in NYC (MoMa).Due to its ethical business approach, Alessi became a Certified B Corporation in June 2017 and in 2020 adopted Benefit Corporation status, the first design company to obtain it.Building a purpose beyond profit and economics is vital for a solid business, and the commitment of Alessi to create products which make people’s lives better is priority.
