The name Tonale refers to Giorgio Morandis use of colour tonality imbueing his daily objects with a sense of individuality. The objects are produced in a variety of materials including enamelled steel, glass, earthenware, and wood. While striving for expressive purity, the range honours todays requirements for durability and versatility." -- David Chipperfield

Alberto Alessi- it gives me great pleasure to use the term "entry level", which i consider a kind of a little of "merit". it is true that the price of these household objects is highly accessible, but this has not compromised the quality of design. We feel that this design expresses the contribution that "oa di alessi" has made to truly democratic design. Jasper has said: "I like the idea of a democratic wine glass which is slightly more formal than the others, to be used to give the table an easy...

The Bettina table set is a project derived from the research that began in 1999 with Future Systems, during the Tea and coffee towers operation. The large flat plate has an functional aesthetic peculiarity: a protruding vein separates the plates surface into two areas, the larger one for the main meal and the smaller one for the side dish. The soup plate has a shaped underrim which enables it to be positioned on the vein of the flat plate. The set includes plates, platters, bowls and cups (coffee...

The junction of the handles to the cups is made with a minimum degree of junction curvature between the handle and the body of the piece. This was not an easy detail to attain, but it gives the unit a very special lightness and elegance. The body of the cups is neither cylindrical nor conical, but has a slightly convex profile which produces unusual light reflections, giving an apparently simple form an appearance that is in no way banal.

The Seventies: Franco Sargiani and Eija Helander designed Programma 8 for Alessi. This systematic and comprehensive project of small modular and stackable household items was based on the very same methodological premise of the international-style architecture of the period: the theory of open-system meta-design ideal for the free composition of unlimited living and formal models. Defined by Alessandro Mendini as "the most advanced collection of household goods in the world" ("Paesssaggio casalingo...
