About this Item

ALDO ROSSI- ORIGINAL DRAWING on proof for "LA CAFFETTIERA CONICA" 1984 ***** This rare and authentic drawing by Aldo Rossi, was created in 1984, on a design for the book La Caffettiera Conica , about his iconic aluminum coffee maker. The work is hand-signed and dated Aldo Rossi 84 in the lower left and includes Rossi s handwritten notes and annotations along the bottom, adding a deeply personal and historically valuable dimension to this piece. *** Professionally framed in (acid-free) measure-made passe-partout, in an exclusive hand-made white wooden frame with Plexiglas® Optical HC, scratch-resistant and UV-protected. Framed Size : 54 x 54 cm *** " La Caffettiera Conica " captures Aldo Rossi s unique fusion of architecture, industrial design, and poetic minimalism. The composition transforms a simple domestic object into a monument of formal rigor, evoking both classical structure and modern abstraction. Set against a pale blue background framed in red, the caffettiera is rendered with precise linework, cross-hatching, and dimension, appearing almost sculptural. The lined paper and handwritten inscriptions preserve the intimacy of Rossi process more than a design study, this is an artwork in its own right, testifying to the timeless elegance of his design philosophy. *** About the Artist *** Aldo Rossi (1931 1997) was one of the most influential architects and theorists of the 20th century.
