Alessi La Conica Espresso Coffee Maker

The Alessi La Conica is an iconic piece of industrial design, created by the renowned architect Aldo Rossi between 1980 and 1983. As Rossi's first mass-produced design, it represents the 'architecture of the table' with its bold geometric shapes and stainless steel construction. This moka pot is a cornerstone of the Alessi catalog, blending high-end architectural theory with everyday household utility.

Today, Alessi remains a family-owned Italian design factory. The company is famous for collaborating with external designers to create 'applied arts' that are functional yet aesthetically provocative. Most Alessi products, especially their high-end stainless steel items like the La Conica, continue to be manufactured at their headquarters in Crusinallo, Italy, ensuring the craftsmanship and quality associated with the 'Made in Italy' label.
