Alessi — Plissé MDL10S W | White De Lucchi immersion blender

There is something unusually beautiful about the everyday act of blending a soup or whipping cream when the tool in hand has the formal grace of Plissé. The white thermoplastic resin body is shaped by a pleated texture that runs across the surface like the folds of a tailored fabric, providing a secure grip to the touch and a surprisingly refined geometry to the eye. A 500-watt object that does not hide in a drawer: it is left on display on the worktop, an integral part of the kitchen's aesthetic. Michele De Lucchi - one of the most influential architects and designers in the contemporary Italian scene, a leading figure in the Memphis movement in the 1980s and later founder of AMDL CIRCLE - created for Alessi a project that translates his ongoing reflection on the relationship between industrial form and artisanal sensitivity into a small appliance. Pleating, the quintessential textile motif, becomes here a construction principle and visual identity, a cultural reference that elevates an everyday object into a consciously designed one. We chose it for Stilmobili because it perfectly embodies that fertile space where function and beauty stop negotiating and begin to coincide. It is the ideal gift for those who furnish the kitchen with the same care given to the living room, for the couple moving into a new home, or for the design enthusiast who tolerates no compromises, even at the stove. The complete set - measuring cup, whisk, and chopper - makes it versatile enough without betraying its essential nature. Project notes: height 34 cm, diameter 7 cm, power 500W. European plug. Available in white. Net weight 2 kg. Part of the Alessi collection, fall/winter assortment.
