Alessi - C.P. Company Steel Set Mocha Cups and Saucers
Reinterpreted for the Alessi - C.P. Company collaboration, this set of two double-wall mocha cups with matching saucers and coffee spoons was originally designed by Jean Nouvel in 2005 as part of the Tea & Coffee Towers research project. The cups draw inspiration from a model widely used in cafés during the 1960s: a simple truncated-cone shape in thick porcelain, coffee-coloured on the outside and gold-toned on the inside. Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel with a black PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) surface finish, a specialised treatment in which an ultra-thin layer of metal is deposited onto the surface. With use, the finish gradually evolves, developing subtle tonal variations that give rise to a distinctive patina, enhancing its material character and uniqueness. As a final step in the production process, the co-branded logo is laser-engraved after the PVD coating has been applied. Pre-order Notice: This item is available for pre-order and will be shipped starting from May 18.
