Alessandro M.

Corkscrew

Alessandro Mendini

"The corkscrew object has movement and sound. During use it delivers a performance. It represents a character, hence its human figure." With these words, Alessandro Mendini explained the anthropomorphic inspiration of Anna G. and Alessandro M., two "corkscrew friends" to whom the author has given distinct characters: "Alexander M. is a bit funny, he twists in on himself [...] he is vain, he likes to change clothes often, depending on the occasion: for parties, at work, at the theater, in costume, traveling, in the country, for ceremonies..." A transforming corkscrew, over the years always in new and original guise.
