More about...

  • The piece

    One of the most iconic objects in contemporary design. Its sculptural, tripod-like form transcends functionality, embodying Starck’s visionary approach where everyday tools become striking design statements.

  • The designer

    The first global design superstar. Starck democratized designer goods in the 80s and 90s, injecting humor, subversion, and biomorphic shapes into everything from juicers (Juicy Salif) to hotels and ghost chairs (Louis Ghost). He is relevant for his concept of "democratic design" and his often surreal yet technologically advanced aesthetic (pioneering use of transparent polycarbonate). His value lies in visual and emotional impact; every object is a conversation piece. Starck represents the era where the designer becomes the brand, essential for eclectic and modern spaces.
  • The brand

    Alessi is known as the "Dream Factory" of Italian design. Founded in 1921, it transformed the kitchenware and home accessories sector by inviting architects to work with metal. Under Alberto Alessi's vision, pieces like the Juicy Salif juicer by Philippe Starck or the kettle by Michael Graves ceased to be mere utensils and became icons of postmodernism. Alessi represents the perfect fusion of industrial production and art. Buying an original Alessi means bringing a museum piece to your table, crafted in high-quality stainless steel, combining irony, functionality, and timeless aesthetics.
