Inspired by the volcanic stone obsidian, this moka style coffee maker combines geometric and organic shapes, alluding to the primal simplicity of rock, but with the precision of modern engineering. Like many Alessi products, the Ossidiana coffee maker is not only used to prepare delicious coffee, but also fits perfectly into the design kitchen accessories category, where aesthetics and functionality meet.
Mario Trimarchi is an Italian designer known for his poetic and conceptual approach to industrial design. In the case of the Alessi Ossidiana Coffee Maker, his inspiration comes from obsidian, a volcanic stone used by ancient civilizations to make tools and everyday objects. Trimarchi takes this reference to create a coffee maker that, while contemporary, evokes the idea of something primal and essential.
The Alessi Ossidiana coffee maker, made of cast aluminium, has a faceted appearance, with geometric lines reminiscent of the polished surfaces of obsidian. Despite its robust appearance, the coffee maker is ergonomic and comfortable to use. Its design has a remarkable visual lightness, and the handle and knob, made of thermoplastic material, add a soft and modern contrast. Trimarchi has managed to fuse in this coffee maker a design that is both sculptural and functional, making it a true gem for lovers of design and coffee.
The success of the Alessi Ossidiana coffee maker lies in its ability to balance form and function. Although its design is avant-garde and attractive, it is still a traditional moka pot, capable of brewing strong, aromatic Italian-style coffee. Ergonomics have been carefully considered by Trimarchi, ensuring that the coffee pot is comfortable to use, with a handle that makes pouring easy and a screw-on system that makes assembly simple.
This combination of geometric design, natural inspiration and modern functionality is what makes the Ossidian coffee pot such a beloved product. Like Alessi's most iconic pieces, this coffee pot transcends its original purpose and becomes a design statement in the kitchen. Furthermore, being made of aluminium, it is lightweight and efficient in heat conduction, ensuring that the coffee is prepared evenly.
