Description
The Bialetti Catalogue by David Bergé is a unique proposal for understanding the production process of precision engineering. Through photographs and stories from those involved, including family members and former factory workers, this catalogue sheds light on the history of the iconic stovetop coffee maker. Renato Bialetti's industrialization of the product in the 1950s led to widespread success, with over 300 million pots sold worldwide. However, the lack of records and archives from the family business has left a void in understanding its production process. This catalogue fills that gap by gathering insights from various individuals connected to the Bialetti company. The book is sponsored by several institutions, including the Museum of Anthropocene Technology and Design Museum Ghent, and was exhibited at these locations before its publication.
