Alessandro Mendini

Universality and poetry are the main features of Alessandro Mendini's vast oeuvre.

For many years now Mendini has astonished us with his new designs and executions that each time embody a spiritual adventure and a vision-packed journey, capable of exploring the very limits of creativity.

All the works lend themselves to figurative alterations that go beyond the mere designing process.

Their image is not defined by an overbearing functionality nor by the style of the time, but by an intimate, dramatic, comic and tragic spirit.

Four art critics approach his many-faceted work, examining it from several perspectives in order to discover its fundamental structures, its formal influences, its antimonies and references.

The methodology and Mendini's private moments enable us to contemplate a work that is situated among the arts.
