Alessi - Italian Design
The Alessi company was founded by Giovanni Alessi in 1921 in Omegna, Italy. Giovanni, a talented sheet metal worker, produced
items by hand for the table and the home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. Giovanni's son Carlo, trained in industrial
design, joined him at Alessi and was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s through the mid 1940s.
During
the war years, Alessi produced stars for uniforms and mechanical parts for Savoia Marchetti airplanes. After the war, thanks to
an enormous demand for brass ladles for the U.S. army, the Alessis expanded the company and started mass production. Carlo's
brother Ettore, who joined the company in 1945, was the first to bring outside designers to the company, such as the architects
Carlo Mazzeri, Luigi Massoni and Anselmo Vitale. Since that time, the range of products offered by Alessi has expanded to
include such items as office accessories and electrical appliances, in collaboration with a growing range of contemporary
designers such as Jasper Morrison and Philippe Starck, all the while maintaining Alessi's commitment to design and quality.

Remodel Housings
In contrast to new construction housings, remodeling housings are appropriate when you have limited or no access to the space above a new fixture, such as in an apartment or a home without crawl spaces or attics above.
New Construction Housings
In contrast to remodeling housings, new construction housings are bulkier and need to be installed between joist beams or onto hangar bars and thus you need full access to the space above the fixture. This style is best used if you are building in a new space, gutting a room, or have an attic above or pop out ceiling, etc.
Non-IC Rated
Non-IC stands for: non insulation contact. Thus, non-IC-rated housings must be kept at least 3 inches away from any insulation.
IC Rated
IC stands for: insulation contact. Thus, IC-rated housings can come in direct contact with thermal insulation.
