Toyo Ito
During the 2000s, Alessi collaborated with several architects for its "coffee and tea towers," with a new generation of architects such as Wiel Arets, Zaha Hadid, Toyo Ito, Greg Lynn, MVRDV, Jean Nouvel, and UN Studio. These sets had a limited production of 99 copies. Another remarkable design in the 2000s is the "Blow Up" series by Fratelli Campana. The brothers played with form and shape to create baskets and other objects that look like they would fall apart when touched.
