Alessi — Alessandro M. AM23 PB | Light blue resin corkscrew

There is something irresistible about the lightness with which Alessandro M. presents itself on the table: a corkscrew in light blue thermoplastic resin that evokes the sky at the end of May, almost an object found rather than designed. Its form is the unmistakable shape of a stylized human figure — arms open, posture solemn and at the same time comical — transforming an everyday gesture such as opening a bottle into a small theatrical ritual. Twenty-two centimeters high and weighing just three hundred grams: almost nothing, yet an absolute presence. Alessandro Mendini signs this corkscrew as one signs a manifesto. A master of radical design and Alchimia, Mendini created with Alessi one of the most fruitful partnerships in the history of Italian design: from the celebrated Anna G. — which became a pop icon recognizable throughout the world — to the family of objects inspired by the human figure that followed it. Alessandro M. is the male counterpart to that vision: the same playful spirit, the same ability to inhabit the kitchen with cultivated irony. A piece that never ceases to be contemporary because it is born already beyond time. At Stilmobili, we chose Alessandro M. because he embodies exactly what we look for in the objects we bring into our store: function and storytelling that coincide effortlessly. It is the ideal gift for those who love wine, but above all for those who understand that even the tools of pleasure deserve form and thought. Perfect on a shelf, on a counter, beneath a Christmas tree. Ideal for those who know Mendini, irresistible for those discovering him right now. Project notes: Light blue thermoplastic resin.
