Alessi — Bombé CA12/8 | Polished stainless steel teapot

There is something immediately recognizable about the Bombé's silhouette: that swollen, polished body, taut like a bubble of air held within the steel, capturing the light and returning it in warm, continuous reflections. The CA12/8 teapot is made of polished 18/10 stainless steel - a material that Alessi elevated into an aesthetic language even before it became a technical one - with a black bakelite handle and knob, whose sober matte finish perfectly balances the shine of the metal body. Holding it, pouring, waiting: every gesture becomes part of a mindful domestic ritual. The Bombé was created by Carlo Alessi, son of founder Giovanni and a central figure in the history of the Crusinallo manufactory. Designed in the 1940s, this collection represents one of the earliest examples of Italian industrial design applied to tableware: forms inspired by the tradition of European silversmithing, reinterpreted with the artisanal precision of machine production. The Officina Alessi collection preserves its legacy, presenting it intact to each new generation. We chose the Bombé because it embodies exactly what we seek when we talk about enduring design: not novelty for novelty's sake, but a form that does not age. It is the perfect gift for those who carefully inhabit their domestic spaces, for those who see the table as a place of composition, not merely consumption. Ideal for tea and coffee lovers who want to bring a piece of Italian design history into their kitchen. Project notes: capacity 122 cl, dimensions 23 × 13 × 15 cm. Hand wash to preserve the surface's shine. Part of a collection that includes a sugar bowl, milk jug, and other coordinated accessories.
