Alessi - Richard Sapper - Koffiezetapparaat - RS 05 - with original manual - cast metal

'A design seemingly made of one piece' (DesignPlus panel, 1999).

Original iconic Alessi Coban RS 05 Espresso machine designed by Richard Sapper (1932 - 2015) in 1988 for Alessi.

The machine as a whole is in good used condition; signs of wear and tear.
