"I think that the trade of objects is often mysterious; sometimes I look at objects as the pottery material laid out in museums, a material that freezes a world that perhaps only asks to be used and then destroyed." Aldo Rossi's words reveal his initial distrust of industrial production, but the Alessi approach intrigued him greatly. He launched into lengthy studies of coffee and tea objects, which over time became something of an obsession. Cones, a constant presence in so many of his architectural designs, eventually materialized into objects to be touched and used.
Rossi
In Rossi’s designs there is an evident relationship (often ironic, always clarifying) between the design object and built architecture.
DiscoverAldo Rossi
Born in Milan (1931-1997), he is considered by many to be the greatest Italian architect of the second half of the 20th century. His life as an architect started with Gardella and Zanuso. An author of abstraction, reduction and brevitas, his severe language of primary shapes, geometrical patterns and silent evocation created some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design in his age.
