About the tea and coffee towers exhibition by Alessi
The exhibition took place in 2003 and was truly amazing. The Alessi family had asked 22 architects to design tea and coffee sets. They were given a free rein to use their imagination to the full. The designs were to be produced in a strict limited edition and the cost of production was not a limiting factor. Many of these sets are now in the hands of serious collectors and museums around the world.
During 2004 Alessi asked the same architects to design pairs of espresso cups - this time to be produced in larger quantities.
Hupla is one of these sets.
Some of our customers are collecting the whole range.
