Alessi Kitchenware

We are delighted to stock Alessi, an Italian designer homeware company based in Crusinallo in northern Italy. The company specialises in the design and production of authentic Italian-inspired kitchenware, tableware, cookware, glassware and home decorations, all with an amazing style and quality manufacture.

The Origin of Alessi

The story of Alessi began shortly after World War 1 when Giovanni Alessi started handcrafting stainless steel cutlery for the catering industry from his home. But, the company was only officially founded in 1935 when his son, Carlo, joined his company. 

Carlo became the de facto in-house designer for Alessi until the 1950s when they started collaborating with external named designers. It was around this time that Alessi expanded its product range to include consumer homeware products and within a decade, the company was widely regarded as one of Italy’s “Design Factories”. 

Alessi underwent an existential crisis of sorts in the 1980s, when low-cost foreign manufacturers threatened its business model. However, the company remained firm in its convictions and weathered the period of uncertainty to emerge stronger as I am sure you will agree these values are as true now as ever.

Today, the company remains under the control of the Alessi family under the leadership of Alberto Alessi, the grandson of Giovanni. Its products are currently manufactured exclusively from its factory in Crusinallo in Piedmont, Italy.

Alessi Range of Products

With over three hundred designers working on its products, the Alessi design is capable of elevating and enhancing the beauty of your home without compromising on quality and functionality.
