Alessi — Plissé MDL09 R | De Lucchi red resin blender

There is something immediately recognizable about the Plissé: the surface of vertical pleats that runs along the blender's body like the fabric of a tailored skirt, like the façade of a rationalist building seen in silhouette. The vivid red of the thermoplastic resin leaves no doubt - this object does not want to hide among other things; it wants to stand at the center of the kitchen counter, just as one stands at the center of a conversation. The graduated PCTG carafe, transparent and durable, completes the silhouette with a formal precision that is already, in itself, a promise of quality. Michele De Lucchi created the Plissé with his distinctive ability to find an architectural gesture within an everyday object. Founder of some of Europe's most influential design studios and already a leading figure in the Memphis movement in the 1980s, De Lucchi has developed over time a personal poetic language founded on clarity of form and respect for those who use the object every day. The Plissé was born within Alessi's large family of kitchen appliances - a field in which the Crusinallo brand has brought the same aesthetic ambition that has always guided its steel collections. At Stilmobili, we chose the Plissé because it perfectly embodies what we look for when selecting an object for the kitchen: not just functionality, but a visual presence capable of expressing who you are. It is the blender for those who furnish their kitchen with the same care they use when choosing a sofa or a work of art. Ideal as a significant gift, as the finishing touch to a designer kitchen, or as a personal gesture toward yourself.
