# Garment-Dyed Coffee Set C.P. Company x Alessi Coffee Set Reworks Industrial Kitchen Tools By Amy Duong | Published 2026-04-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp-company-x-alessi References: [cpcompany](https://www.cpcompany.com/en-us/alessi-c.p.-company.html?srsltid=AfmBOop7bkfnRD3KGakQdyIENp-eJHrWbJE5EzBwaA9v1isgLad-9vfB)  The [C.P. Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp-company-x-beams) x [Alessi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vite) coffee set reinterprets archival kitchenware through the lens of garment-dyeing and material aging. At its core is a limited-edition version of Alessi’s 9090 espresso maker, originally designed by Richard Sapper, finished in a black PVD coating that develops a patina over time. The set also includes a moka pot, cups, and a mug designed by Jean Nouvel, alongside a geometric tray by [Enzo Mari](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisan-sourdough-bread-kit), all treated with the same darkened finish and brass-toned accents. Each object is sandblasted and coated to create a matte surface that evolves with use, aligning with C.P. Company’s garment-dyeing philosophy where materials change through wear. The coffee set is released alongside a capsule of nylon overshirts in colors inspired by Ettore Sottsass’s 1983 Alessi factory uniforms, linking industrial heritage with apparel design. The limited-edition 9090 espresso maker is restricted to 999 numbered pieces as part of the Milan Design Week presentation. Image Credit: C.P.
