Alessi — Firebird GV34 | Black Lighter Designed by Venturini

Alessi Firebird — The Flame That Sparked Debate

There is something irresistible about an object that tells a story even before it is used. Firebird was created in 1993 during a design workshop led by Guido Venturini, with a stated objective: to explore the ability of objects to stir emotions, arouse curiosity, and provoke. With its anything-but-subtle erotic allusion, it caused a sensation among the more puritanical circles of the design world - and for precisely that reason, it never stopped captivating.

Why we chose it for you

Almost thirty years after the first edition, Alessi presents a reissue of Firebird that broadens its intended use, bringing a piece that is already part of Italian design history to a new audience. This is the distinctive hallmark of the Crusinallo workshop: transforming everyday objects into stories capable of connecting with the people who hold them. Firebird does not just light the stove - it lights up conversations.
