Sure the Alessi store was all the rage last year (Metropolis even did a full story on it), but one year later the place looks trashed. Countertops that were poorly lacquered have chipped, the floor has been refinished once already and still has cracks running the width of it... When I walk by in the morning, the coffee baristas keep all the lights off. Aftreall, who wants to walk into a coffee shop with fluorescent light strips at nine in the morning?
