alessandro m. groningen limited edition corkscrew
by A. Mendini, from Alessi
alessandro m. groningen limited edition corkscrew
Design Alessandro Mendini, 2019
Chrome-plated zamak, thermoplastic resin
Made by Alessi
Alessandro M., the corkscrew designed by Alessandro Mendini in 2003, is the object/creature that has brought to life unique characters over the years, in limited editions. Alessandro M. - Groningen is a tribute to the creator on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of one of his biggest architectural projects: the Groninger Museum. Alessandro M. wears the multicolored clothes, with a pointillist vibe, reminiscent of the facades of the Dutch museum of the same name.
The Alessandro M. corkscrew is the self-portrait of its creator, Alessandro Mendini. The creation of a character capable, with continuous transformations, of fitting gracefully into the design scenario was far from easy. Groningen is a limited edition, hand-decorated corkscrew made of thermoplastic resin and chrome-plated zamak.

A. Mendini
The work of Milan’s Alessandro Mendini has greatly helped to develop Italian design. He became a leader in his field by pushing boundaries and challenging convention, helping to bring about the 1970’s Radical Design movement. Thinking beyond furniture Mendini also created graphics, interiors, paintings, and architecture. He authored several articles and books and juried architectural competitions. In 1982 he co-founded the the Domus Academy.
Alessi was founded in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi to produce crafted metal products for eating and drinking. In 1935, Carlo Alessi, son of Giovanni, was named chief designer. In 1945, he ascended to chief executive and designed the coffee service Bombe, an industrial piece manufactured in four sizes. That same year Carlo's younger brother, Ettore Alessi, joined the company as a technician. By the 1980s, Alberto Alessi took over the management of Alessi and launched the Alessi company into the design decade through collaborations with designers such as Philippe Starck and his playful three-legged Juicy Salif citrus squeezer.
