Founded in 1921, Alessi is an Italian homewares brand, known for designing and manufacturing everyday household goods many of which have become icons of contemporary design. The Alessi universe boasts a roster of over 300 creatives from around the world, including Philippe Starck, Aldo Rossi and Ettore Sottsass.
In line with its business priorities and reputation for design excellence, Alessi has chosen Jabra as a digital partner, to facilitate the historic design brand’s journey of innovation, making it more agile and efficient.
Alessi relies on ten Evolve 20 headphones, two Evolve2 65 headphones, six Speak 710, and ten Speak 510 speakerphones.
Why choose professional audio solutions?
Alessi was searching for an audio solution for their new meeting rooms that would match the quality and design standards for which Alessi is known. The Speak Series speakerphones were chosen for their high-performance and as a design conscious addition to their meeting rooms and open spaces.
The Evolve headphones are designed to help businesses ensure employees’ focus, collaboration and flexibility. Specifically, the Evolve range proved to be an ideal solution for Alessi because of its superior noise reduction - well-suited for Alessi’s physical environment - and excellent microphone quality, allowing employees to communicate clearly and professionally. And, thanks to their ergonomic design, Evolve headsets can be worn all day without any discomfort.
Thanks to the collaboration with Jabra, Alessi has made an important leap forward in its digital transformation, improving the quality of meetings. The team has also benefited from the fast deployment and integration with company devices such as PCs, phones, and tablets, the full-duplex audio transmission of the speakerphones, and the versatility to pair with multiple devices.”
Alessi’s choice is in line with today’s trends and needs in the world of work, a field that has undergone a real revolution in recent years.
