{"product_id":"aldo-rossi-la-cupola-alessi-6-cup-1988","title":"Aldo Rossi La Cupola | Alessi · 6-Cups","description":"\u003cp\u003eA coffee maker that belongs on a shelf as much as on a stove — the La Cupola draws the eye before it draws the espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Aldo Rossi in 1988, the form is immediately legible: a domed lid echoing the proportions of a cathedral cupola, an angular spout that cuts a clean diagonal, and an anthracite grey textured aluminium body that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The polyamide handle and knob are matte black — no contrast for its own sake, just a considered material decision that keeps the silhouette coherent. This is the 6-cup version, standing approximately 28 cm tall: large enough to anchor a kitchen shelf, small enough to use every morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlessi was founded in Omegna, on Lake Orta, in 1921 — a workshop producing metal household objects that would eventually become one of the most recognised names in Italian design. Rossi's La Cupola, first produced in 1988, came at the height of his architectural reputation and remains in production today, a rare example of a postmodern design object that has never been discontinued. This piece dates from the original 1988 production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish \/ Hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anthracite grey textured aluminium body · Matte black polyamide handle and knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980s — original 1988 production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6-cup capacity · Dome lid · Angular spout · Stovetop espresso maker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e La Cupola coffee maker only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eH: approx. 28 cm \/ 11\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only — do not place in dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after washing to prevent water marks on the aluminium surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads — they will damage the textured finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore first use, run a full cycle with water only and discard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Alessi","offers":[{"title":"As New","offer_id":53270461743371,"sku":"202628201","price":190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/9669\/5051\/files\/Cupolla-Alessi_2.png?v=1785150980","url":"https:\/\/officinageneralstore.com\/products\/aldo-rossi-la-cupola-alessi-6-cup-1988","provider":"L'Officina General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
