Montreals reputation as a design capital is now set in stone with the
opening of Canadas first Alessi
boutique.
The ubiquitous Italian design lab adds touches of whimsy to everyday
objects. Here youll find black nesting dishes from edgy architect Zaha
Hadid ($237) and Matali Crasset and Pierre Hermés Essential de
patisserie tools (pictured) with dual-purpose whisk ($76), stainless
steel bowl ($201) and orange cake plates ($161). Big spending gourmets
will covet the copper fish poacher ($1601), but we fell for Ron Arads
bright blue Chiringuito wine cooler ($78) that hangs off the edge of a
table.
Toss the tchochkes, dig the design.
