Alessi: 100-001

Presented by:
Francesca Appiani, Curator, Museo Alessi
Gloria Barcellini, Assistant Metaproject

Since its establishment in 1921, Alessi has gradually evolved, becoming a leading exponent of the “Factories of Italian design”, capable of mediating between the most interesting expressions of international creativity and the public, society, and the market. Francesca Appiani, curator of Alessi Museum, and Gloria Barcelini, Assistant Metaproject, explain how Alessi became a company whose mission is to translate these creative expressions into real objects capable of fulfilling dreams and satisfying the public’s desires.
