An Italian Design Factory Since 1921

Explore the history and origins of Alessi and discover how its partnerships with the most interesting designers came about.

The Beginnings

In 1921, Giovanni Alessi and his brother founded Fratelli Alessi Omegna - FAO, a “Workshop for processing brass and nickel silver sheet, with a foundry”. FAO’s first production was inspired by the dictates of the most prestigious manufacturers of objects for the home of the early 20th century, particularly those from Austria and England. Giovanni was obsessed with quality and skilled craftsmanship: his products made of copper, brass and nickel silver, which were subsequently plated with nickel, chrome or silver, became immediately renowned for their meticulous crafting and perfect finish.

Carlo Alessi

In 1932, Carlo Alessi, Giovanni’s eldest son, joined the family firm while still very young, designing most of the objects made between the mid-Thirties and 1945. The company’s growth accelerated in the Thirties, the number of people employed in the manufacturing department increased and an initial sales network was created. Thanks to Carlo’s design talents, the first original, independently creative products were produced. At the end of the decade, this promising acceleration was brought to a halt by changing political conditions.
