Alessi Moka Black - espresso maker, 6 cups

Alessi Moka, in its familiar form, transforms and appears in an entirely new, elegant black finish. This redesign, as a homage to the groundbreaking espresso machine by Alfonso Bialetti, embodies the vision of David Chipperfield to create a timeless and at the same time familiar object, just like the one that was created at the beginning of the last century. The deep black colouring gives Moka an absolute character and exudes timeless sculptural grace.

"The espresso maker has evolved into a commodity that is as distinctive as a bottle opener, a pair of glasses or a pair of scissors. It has taken on an identity of its own and is usable and familiar everywhere. It has found a permanent place in the kitchen and in the everyday rituals of life." - David Chipperfield

David Chipperfield has anchored his innovations in subtle details, such as the flat.
