Alessi — Itsumo NF07/76S | White porcelain espresso cup

There is a particular serenity in the whiteness of porcelain when it is conceived by a Japanese mind. Naoto Fukasawa's Itsumo cup is an object held between the fingers with disarming naturalness: the form is clean, almost silent, yet it carries a geometric precision that does not reveal itself all at once. The rim, the curve of the handle, the balanced dialogue with the saucer - every detail is calibrated to disappear in everyday use, leaving room only for the gesture and the pleasure. Naoto Fukasawa is among the most respected designers of his generation: born in Yamanashi in 1956, he has built a design philosophy based on the concept of "without thought" - a design that anticipates the body's movements, allowing itself to be used before it is even understood. With Itsumo - a Japanese word meaning "always", "as usual" - Fukasawa brings this philosophy directly to the breakfast table or espresso bar, transforming the ritual of coffee into a moment of quiet awareness. At Stilmobili, we chose Itsumo because it embodies with rare consistency what we seek in beautiful things: the ability to improve everyday life without showing off. It is the little cup for those who love design but do not need to display their sensitivity - for those who prefer to feel the difference rather than show it. An ideal gift for coffee lovers with subtle taste, or to complete a table setting where every element has been chosen with care. Design notes: white porcelain, capacity 8.5 cl, saucer diameter 12.5 cm, height 7.4 cm. Part of the Alessi collection designed by Naoto Fukasawa. Available as a cup and saucer set.
