Iconic espresso coffee maker “La Cupola”, designed by Aldo Rossi for Alessi, Italy. This celebrated design translates Rossi’s architectural language into a domestic object, with a cylindrical body and domed top inspired by classical architecture.
Executed in a warm terracotta-colored finish with contrasting black handle and finial, La Cupola is one of the most recognizable examples of Italian postmodern design. The piece is widely included in museum collections and is considered both a functional coffee maker and a sculptural design object.
Highly collectible and emblematic of Alessi’s design-led production from the late 20th century, this example presents strongly both in use and on display.
