Alessi 90 Year Collection

Alessi celebrated 90 years of innovative design by many of the world’s most renowned designers with a special collection of their most iconic products over the 9 decades. Each piece is stamped with the number “90″, the designer’s name, and the year it was originally produced.

 Magic. 

 

 When the world throws magic at you during the most mundane tasks in life, this is truly a gift.  In other less lustrous times, we have to create our own magic amongst the dishes or surround ourselves with shiny distractions.  A few magical kitchen tools worth mentioning include…
