Designed by Aldo Rossi for Alessi in 1984, La Conica coffee pot is an updated version of the very successful Moka pot so dear to amateurs of true Italian-style coffee. Designed as part of the project 'Tea & coffee piazza', La Conica coffee pot is an architectural exploration in miniature for the 'household landscape'. Out go the post-war cheap aluminium, the bakelite handle and the hexagonal-shaped boiler. Rossi's coffee pot is a cylindrical shaft of stainless steel that is as smooth as a mirror. Aldo Rossi was a post-modern architect fascinated by the nostalgic poetry of coffee pots and coffee. Coffee, food that isn't food and yet holds an important place in our lives, boosts our imagination. The Alessi family firm was extremely creative and became an example for Italian designer workshops. Coffee and design are definitely two Italian passions.
