La Conica, the first espresso machine designed by architect Aldo Rossi, is a piece of architecture for the table. Its captivating, elegant style is expressed through a body made of stainless steel and a copper base.
The name Plissé refers to the design’s folded form, reminiscent of fabric. Inspired by haute couture, the kettle becomes an elegant, sculptural object that deserves a special place in the kitchen.
When the water boils, the little bird sings – a playful detail that has made this kettle one of Alessi’s best-selling objects worldwide. The 1985 design brings together European art, American pop culture, and pre-Columbian influences.
