Alessi Espresso Coffee Maker 9090, 6 cups Perforated handle

A version of the iconic 9090 coffee maker that pays homage to the genius of its creator Richard Sapper by presenting itself to the public with a handle he designed and never before produced. The handle, perforated to increase heat dispersion, is a functional and aesthetically expressive detail. The color red was used to emphasize the mobile and joint elements of his designs, just like this particular handle which, in its movement, encloses an innovative closing system.
