Alessi



Alessi is one of the most famous design companies in
contemporary
society.
The
company
provides
us
a
new
view
of
family
products
and
translates
the
basic
pragmatism products into innovative, colorful, ingenious
and practical products. Alessi almost represents the 20
th
century design. Alessi is a company unique in its ability
to create the finest in contemporary design in different
product
types,
styles,
and
price
levels.
What
’
s
more,
Alessi
is
one
of
those
companies
which
embodies
a
typical phenomenon of Italian industrial culture, namely
that
of
“
Italian
Design
Factories
”
.
Many
famous
designers
such
as
Philippe
Starck,
Achiri
Castellini,
Achille
Castiglioni,
Michel
Glenn,
Frank
Gary
have
worked for Alessi. Through analysis of Alessi
’
s products,
aiming at the many problems of modern product design,
it was put forward that with the emphasis of the
“
design
for
the
human
being
”
,
products
which
are
lack
of
humanization
and
human
feelings
make
people
tired;
meanwhile, poor quality make people discard them soon
after
use
them,
and
cause
huge
wasting
of
source,
furthermore,
it
is
not
helpful
for
sustainable
development.



Alessi
’
s
products
have
many
characters.
One
of
the
characters is the combination of art and design. In fact,
the
design
is
changing
along
with
the
development
of
the society. And modern design is not only to fulfill the
desire of human beings, but to achieve a certain level of
art
and
technology.
Art
is
to
dig
up
the
human
beings
’

emotions,
and
bring
them
out
through
vision
and
hearing and so on. Design has much in common with art
and it is a challenge that based on the personal creativity.
Alessi relates to art when it is founded. This is close to its
historical
culture.
The
Italian
artistic
creativity
and
the
persistent pursuit to art are sources of Alessi
’
s success.
Another character of Alessi
’
s products is the reappear of
beauty.
Each
one
of
the
Alessi
’
s
products
seeks
the
perfection
in
art,
especially
in
modeling
measures.
Furthermore, the products bring visual appreciation and
enjoyments to human beings. People will play with the
products when they are using them. As Michael Collins
said in
“
Alessi
”
,
“
Its function is not in using. It can be far
viewed and not played, and it is appreciated as art.
”
The
third character of Alessi
’
s products is high technique. We
will
know
that
the
products
have
high
technical
skills
when we see the Alessi
’
s products. Whether a material
or the combination of many materials, Alessi will make
good
full use
of
them.
When
you
see
the
product,
you
will find it is more of a artware than a daily use. We can
say that Alessi make good full use of traditional technical
skills. The other character of Alessi
’
s products is humor.
Alessi
’
s products are full of humor, and it makes normal
products more humanized. The products become lovely
and
active
when
they
are
designed
through
cartoon
forms, especially that they make the kitchen appliances
humorous and abundant.



Then I will introduce some famous products of Alessi.


“
Juicy Sailif
”
citrus squeezer:


这个




The
product
which
has
a
lemon
head
and
three
fine
long legs is the famous
“
Juicy Sailif
”
. It looks like a spider.
“
Juicy
Sailif
”

is
designed
for
Alessi
by
the
famous
designer
Philippe
Starck
in
1990.
Citrus
squeezer
is
mirror-polished
aluminum
casting.
Feet
in
PA.
A
truly
iconic object and symbol not only of Philippe Starck but
of Alessi itself, this citrus squeezer-as revolutionary as it
is
surprisingly
functional-was
sketched
in
its
essentials
by
Starck
during
a
holiday
by
the
sea
in
Italy,
on
a
pizzeria napkin. It looks like an uninvited guest from the
space and lands up on the earth, so it is called
“
ET
”
. To
our
surprise,
Alessi
has
sold
550
thousand
“
ET
”

from
1990
to
2001.
Nowadays,
the
“
ET
”

is
the
classic
in
Alessi
’
s exclusive stores.




The designer Philippe Starck is
born in Paris in 1949,
and he is one of the most original and creative designers
of
our
time.
He
has
obtained
many
important
acknowledgements such as the Grand Prix National de la
Création
industrielle
and
the
Honor
Award
of
the
American Institute of Architects, he considers himself as

Japanese
architect,
an
American
art
director,
a
German industrial designer, a French artistic director, an
Italian
furniture
designer
When
he
designed
citrus
squeezer, he said
“
To me, the product is a little sculpture,
and it
’
s not a virtual daily use. Its aim is not to squeeze
thousands of lemons, but to provide the talk to people.

Many
owners
of
“
ET
”

don
’
t
regard
it
as
a
citrus
squeezer.
According
to
a
research,
when
we
see
a
product,
we
are
care
about
not
only
its
use
but
its
appearance.
What
’
s
more,
we
care
about
our
appearance
when
we
are
using
it.
So
we
can
call
the
citrus squeezer as a emotional product. It sells well, and
we can
’
t explain the phenomenon with rationalism view.
The
product
is
not
perfect
in
function.
The
manufacturers say it is bad in function. Don
’
t people like
it? To our surprise, the product become one of the best
sellers
of
Alessi.
The
owners
said,
“
We
don
’
t
use
our
‘
Juicy Salif
’
. Its function doesn
’
t lie in that it can be used.
It
can
be
viewed
from
a
distance,
and
can
’
t
be
played
with. We regard it as a work of art and appreciate it. The
product needs analyzing, and it may cause thinking and
argument.
Maybe
its
artistic
value
is
bigger
than
its
practical value. We can see from the product that we are
paying
more
and
more
attention
to
our
emotional
life.
Nowadays, when we designed products, we should think
highly of people
’
s emotional feelings.

Kettle with Small Bird Shaped Whistle

is
designed
in
1985
by
Michael
Graves;

and whistles when contents boil. Handle and whistle in
