Alessi — Officina | Starck Design Colander

Alessi Officina — The Colander That Redefines an Everyday Gesture

Draining pasta has never been a purely functional act. With Officina by Philippe Starck for Alessi, it becomes a moment of aesthetic awareness: light reflects off the polished steel, hands rest naturally on the rim, and even the simplest gesture acquires a dignity of its own. It is the kind of object you notice on the kitchen counter and use every day without ever tiring of looking at it.

Why we chose it for you

Alessi was founded in 1921 in Crusinallo, on Lake Orta, as a crafts workshop specializing in metalworking. From that century-old tradition comes the ability to bring industry and authorial design together: Officina bears the signature of Philippe Starck, one of the most recognizable designers of the 20th century, and perfectly embodies the Alessi philosophy — transforming an everyday object into something that belongs to the material culture of our time.
