Alessi - Momento wall Clock black

Initially conceived as a large-scale re-proposition of the eponymous Momento wristwatch, designed by Aldo Rossi in the 1980s, this wall clock has achieved complete autonomy over time, becoming an iconic Alessi object. The shape imprinted by the author has allowed it to stand the test of time and, above all, has given it the freedom to be developed in different versions without its intimate nature being affected.

Aldo Rossi

Milanese (1931-1997), is considered by many the greatest Italian architect of the second half of the twentieth century. He began his career as an architect working with Gardella and Zanuso. Playwright of abstraction, reduction and brevitas, with his rigorous language of primary forms, geometries and evocations in absence, he was able to create some of the most intensely poetic works of architecture and design of his time.

Alessi

Alessi founded in 1921 as a Workshop for the processing of brass and nickel-silver plates, with foundry, it is recognized for the high quality of its products. In nearly a century of history it has gradually evolved to become a leading exponent of the "Factories of Italian design".
The Company is open to change and international development and also deeply rooted in the tradition and cultural background of its territory. Alessi continues to be synonymous with craft objects made with the help of machines. Today Alessi’s goal is to translate the search for the most advanced cultural, aesthetic, executive and functional quality into the industrial production series. The design product stems from the constant search for mediation between art and industry, between the "Immensity of the Creative Possible" and the needs of the market. The company’s commitment is to constantly work on a boundary line, balancing the most advanced expressions of creativity with the needs of the audience. Alessi has been called a "dream factory". Indeed, through its products it aspires to make its contribution to responding to a desire for people's  happiness, to the need for Art and Poetry common to all people.
