Design: Aldo Rossi 1982, for Alessi of Italy.
Aldo Rossi was born in Milan (1931-1997), he is considered by many to be the greatest Italian architect of the second half of the 20th century. His life as an architect started with Gardella and Zanuso. An author of abstraction, reduction and brevitas, his severe language of primary shapes, geometrical patterns and silent evocation created some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design in his age.
"La Conica" was designed between 1980 and 1983.
Projects regarding coffee related items became a kind of obsession for Rossi. For Rossi the coffee maker perfectly symbolized the dialectic relation between architecture ( better still, town planning) and the "household landscape" into which this miniature monument fits !
