Alessi is a design institution. No one goes here for bargains. They go for quality unique playful items, top-notch gifts, and to drop names all over the place. They go to check out the cool store and the awesomeness that is the backyard which connects adjacently to the DWR Tree Studio. It’s about time Chicago has a real actual store, instead of a couple or ‘areas’ in various shops around the city displaying Alessi.
