Alessi La Conica Espresso Maker

The Alessi La Conica is an icon of postmodern design, conceived by the renowned architect Aldo Rossi between 1980 and 1983. It was Rossi's first mass-produced design and quickly became a symbol of the 1980s aesthetic, characterized by its strict geometric shapes—specifically the cylinder and the cone—inspired by urban architecture.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel with a copper bottom, this stovetop espresso maker (moka pot) represents the pinnacle of Italian industrial design. It is manufactured in Italy by Alessi, a company that has transitioned from a traditional metal workshop to one of the most influential 'Factories of Italian Design.'

The brand remains a family-owned enterprise, headquartered in Crusinallo, Omegna. Over the decades, Alessi has collaborated with some of the world's most famous architects and designers, maintaining its reputation as a leader in high-end, functional art for the home.
