The design makes use of Alessi’s signature features such as
straight lines, simplicity and geometric forms, in combination
with inspiration drawn from the African Mudjaji rain queen’s
rain dance costumes.
The design is inspired by Dieter Rams design philosophy, good
design is as little design as possible. This multi-raised surface
focuses on its function through clean lines and aesthetic. The
product is assembled using lap joints for a clean and precise
aesthetic, no additional fasteners used.
Shapes used in this carafe set are elegant and functional. The
carafe consists of two openings, one to pour the wine from the
bottle directly into the carafe whilst allowing it to breathe and
the other designed for the wine to be poured in a sophisticated
manner into a wine glass.
This product is a key organizer aimed at improving ones daily
interaction with their keys by addressing the frustrations associated
with keys such as their bulkiness, noise and tendency to hook on
objects. This product is made out of aluminium and constructed by
means of two book screws. Chainlink for attachments.
This gas heater represents the modern
and functionalism era. All features of
this heater serve a particular function
thus there are no unnecessary parts.
This design is based on the top tank
heater and seeks to improve on this
design.
