One of the main points that came through strongly was the idea of the company as a “Research Lab in the Applied Arts” approach. The massive challenge that the established consumer brands have today is how to stay relevant. For a company like Alessi, which is design led and has a huge range of products this is especially difficult.

Alessi FormulaThe concept of ‘Italian Design Factories’ was born in the 1950’s. Today Alessi has a massive number of more the 300 architects and designers. To keep track with the changing consumer expectations Alessi has developed an approach that involves continues mediation between the industrial and intellectual processes. Risk taking is vital in this “Borderline Theory” that Alessi applies.
