Alessi is an Italian company that produces functional design objects. The product lines are developed by a team of designers, chefs and cultural historians.

Alessi is a special company that actually does not have a clear design style. The company only really became known to the general public in the 90s. When large department stores started selling the so-called 'Happy Objects': a separate group, called Family Follows Fiction, mostly made of plastic.

Plastic design was only added in the 1980s by a renewed respect for the first modern designers at the beginning of the 20th century and was partly created by the use of leading European and American designers and architects of the 80s.
