Fully aware of an object’s narrative ability, Sicilian architect Mario Trimarchi has designed the “Ossidiana” espresso coffee maker. Like his other projects, this one is based on memories and fragments of images, told through the form of an article. “Ossidiana” embraces the memory of the various sides of the traditional moka coffee pot and those of obsidian, the volcanic stone it is named after. The unique design of the Alessi Ossidiana Espresso Maker allows coffee enthusiasts to explore the heritage and history of traditional Italian coffee-making. Combining the nostalgia of memories and images with modern flair, this stove top espresso maker is sure to become a timeless addition to any kitchen.
