Alessi’s unconventional series of funerary urns represents a significant departure from traditional design objects. The venture challenges conventional boundaries by applying high design principles to memorial artifacts. Curated by Alberto Alessi in collaboration with Giulio Iacchetti, the Last Pot collection brings together ten internationally renowned designers — including luminaries like Philippe Starck, David Chipperfield, and Naoto Fukasawa. Each offers a unique interpretation of the funerary urn design that blends aesthetic sophistication with profound symbolism. The project builds upon Alessi’s legacy of transforming everyday objects into design statements, now extending this philosophy to objects marking life’s final passage.
