The Vite project was conceived in a completely unprecedented way in the history of Alessi. Malouin himself uses the term Scrapyard Works: a creative process that quite literally begins in scrapyards, where the designer retrieves metal fragments and gives them new life through recomposition and reinterpretation. The coffee maker’s boiler echoes the form of a screw, a direct reference to the gesture involved in using the object. The aluminum of the boiler, contrasted with the colored tank, further emphasizes this connection. Color is another central theme of the Vite project. The color variants, sampled from the machinery and tools of the Alessi workshop, complete its sophisticated mechanical identity.
