Design Press Filter Coffee Maker, 3 Cups

A French press built with an architect's eye for pattern.

Designed by Aldo Rossi — among the most influential Italian architects of the 20th century — the 9094 pairs 18/10 stainless steel with heat-resistant glass, its outer steel sleeve marked with the regular vertical lines typical of Rossi's geometric design language. It doubles as an infuser for loose-leaf tea, though it's worth picking one use and sticking with it, since residue from one can carry into the other.
