Alessandro M.

This reinterpretation of the Alessandro M. corkscrew has two references: the tradition, started by Mendini, of dressing the famous "design portrait" in ever-new clothes, and his love of hybridization between disciplines. "Being able to jump from one discipline to another in methods and genres is very fertile, very productive from the point of view of creating things," Mendini noted. Hence the idea of engaging talents from different creative worlds, such as fashion, to bring a new "change of clothes" to life.

Contemporary design’s most celebrated corkscrew duo is renewed through a choral dialogue between memory and the avant-garde. On one side, a dedicated collaboration with the Mendini Archive revives original patterns conceived by the master; on the other, the polyphonic gaze of contemporary innovators – visual designers Studio Temp, artist Fulvia Mendini, and fashion designer Arthur Arbesser – dresses these iconic design portraits in distinctive new outfits. Special objects to discover, use, and collect.
