Designer: Richard Sapper

Alessi is one of those companies which embodies a typical phenomenon of Italian industrial culture, namely that of “Italian Design Factories” Started by Carlo Alessi, the company’s products have always been considered as being handicraft items made with the aid of machines. Whilst relying on contemporary, industrial technology and processing equipment, at depth the practice is still rooted in a handicraft culture. The 9090 isn’t just the first espresso coffee maker in Alessi’s history: it was also Alessi’s first object for the kitchen after the 1930s, the first of Alessi’s many Compasso d’Oro awards (1979), Alessi’s first object to be inducted into the Permanent Design Collection at the New York MOMA. Has a magnetic bottom suitable for induction cooking and with its high design quality it can also be brought directly to the table.
