Museo Alessi
The Museo Alessi, based at our factory in Omegna, showcases over 25.000 design artifacts, including prototypes, molds, and sketches from globally renowned designers. Conceived by Alessandro Mendini in 1998, the museum celebrates our eclectic design journey, highlighting the heritage of Italian design craftsmanship and showcasing how even everyday objects can be uniquely reinterpreted by different creative minds.
Our collection is open to the public, please contact museo.alessi@alessi.com to book an appointment.
Activities
