"Alberto Alessi telah meminta selusin arsitek untuk merancang layanan teh perak murni - dengan teko, teko kopi, gula, krimer, sendok, dan nampan. Laporan singkat kami adalah bahwa itu tidak masalah jika tidak berhasil dan biaya bukanlah masalahnya. Itu adalah proyek promosi, bukan perusahaan komersial, dan akan dipamerkan di museum. Dan piazza kopi dan teh, demikian sebutan saya, mendapat respons yang luar biasa. Luar biasa berjalan ke museum Whitney dan melihat semua benda ini di lantai pertama."

--- Michael Graves

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Alberto Alessi had asked a dozen architects to design a sterling silver tea service - with a teapot, a coffee pot, sugar, creamer, a spoon, and a tray. Our brief was that it didn't matter if it didn't work and cost wasn't the issue. It was a promotional project, not a commercial enterprise, and was going to be showcased in museums. And the coffee and tea piazza, as mine was called, received a great response. It was wonderful to walk into the Whitney museum and see all these objects on the first floor.
