Omegna, Italy CNN  — 

Whether its a stainless steel Moka coffeepot that prepares your morning brew, or a smiling corkscrew woman that releases your evening wine, there’s a good chance an Alessi product has a place in your daily routine.

Founded by Giovanni Alessi in 1921, the Italian design house has been churning out everyday products with an extraordinary twist for decades.
