C.P. Company × Alessi capsule
At Milano Design Week, C.P. Company unveiled a capsule built around the ritual of morning coffee that pairs three nylon overshirts with redesigned Alessi objects. (wallpaper.com) The Alessi pieces in the collaboration reference designers Richard Sapper, Jean Nouvel and Enzo Mari, tying utilitarian menswear to household design objects. ( )
C.P. Company used Milano Design Week 2026 to move from jackets to kitchenware, unveiling a capsule with Alessi built around the daily ritual of coffee. (wallpaper.com) The project was presented through an installation called “Blend: The Kinetic Pulse of Italian Industrial Mastery” at the C.P. Company showroom on Via G. Fiamma 18 in Milan, with dates listed as April 21-25, 2026 on the brand’s site. (cpcompany.com) Wallpaper reported that the capsule pairs three nylon overshirts with reworked Alessi objects, and said the collaboration grew out of an attempt to connect C.P. Company’s garment-dyed sportswear language with Alessi’s metal household design. (wallpaper.com) The design references are unusually specific. Wallpaper said the Alessi pieces nod to Richard Sapper, Jean Nouvel and Enzo Mari, while Esquire Italia placed the project among the branded installations opening across the city for the 2026 edition of Milano Design Week. (wallpaper.com, esquire.com) That matters in Milan because Design Week has become a launch platform well beyond furniture, stretching across fashion labels, home brands and temporary installations staged during the Fuorisalone circuit. Guides from Designboom and Dezeen list citywide programming running through the week of April 20-26, 2026. (designboom.com, dezeen.com) For C.P. Company, the tie-up also lands as the brand pushes its design identity in public-facing events, after promoting a separate Milano Design Week 2026 installation on its own site and showing its Spring Summer 2026 collection days earlier. (cpcompany.com, stylecartel.com) For Alessi, the collaboration fits a week in which the company is also staging its own Milan presentation, “La Bella Tavola,” at Palazzo Stampa di Soncino from April 21-26, 2026. (eventbrite.it, jekoo.com) Lorenzo Osti told Wallpaper he was initially unsure about pairing C.P. Company with Alessi because steel felt “too polished and refined” for a label built on aged-looking, garment-dyed utility. The finished capsule answers that tension by treating coffee tools and overshirts as part of the same industrial system. (wallpaper.com)
