The dream factory : Alessi since 1921

More about the book

Many objects are simply part of everyday life; in the neutral, reassuring setting of home we make use of them almost without noticing. But then there are objects which somehow make commonplace gestures more pleasing, more straightforward, more "personal". In this book Alberto Alessi guides us through the people, events, designs and products of his famous factory of "Bel design". Along the way we discover that every presence is great (but diminutive) adventure in creativity and technology.
