Alessi Avio Milk Pot, 50 cl: The Functional Elegance of the 1960s
Created in 1961, the Avio milk pot belongs to an important period in Alessi’s history, when the Italian brand was developing its identity around metal objects with clean, functional lines. Crafted from stainless steel 18/10, this 50 cl model combines simple design with an elegant presence on the table. Its gently curved silhouette, integrated pouring spout, and slender metal handle give the milk jug a particularly graphic look.
Avio: The Origins of the Alessi Aesthetic
The Avio collection is part of the work carried out by Carlo Mazzeri and Anselmo Vitale for Alessi between the late 1950s and the early 1970s. The two designers were involved in developing a family of objects intended for the table and the hospitality industry. Their approach emphasized clear forms, intuitive use, and an aesthetic capable of standing the test of time.
In this milk pot, this design philosophy is reflected in a particularly streamlined form. The metal body, which tapers slightly toward the center, gives rhythm to the silhouette, while the glossy surface captures the surrounding light. The slender handle extends away from the main body, adding a sense of visual lightness that contrasts with the container’s generous size.
How much does the Avio milk pot hold?
The Avio milk pot has a capacity of 50 cl. This size allows you to serve several people at breakfast, brunch, or with coffee, without having to constantly refill the pot.
What are the dimensions of the Avio milk pot?
Avio measures 12.5 cm in diameter and 11.8 cm in height. Its proportions are compact enough to fit easily among a coffee maker, cups, and other tableware items.
What style of tableware does Avio pair well with?
Thanks to its stainless steel construction and deliberately minimalist design, Avio pairs equally well with classical white tableware as it does with a more contemporary set. Its metallic finish creates an elegant contrast with China, glass, or wood and adds a touch of historic design to a modern table.
More than just a serving accessory, Avio marks the beginnings of a design language that would become synonymous with Alessi. It’s a piece for everyday use, whose simplicity remains as relevant as ever more than sixty years after its creation.
