Alessi — Anna G. Parade AM01A 5 | Mendini x Arbesser corkscrew

Anna G. is back. And this time, she is strutting her stuff. The world's most famous corkscrew - the one Alessandro Mendini designed in 1994, inspired by the silhouette of a friend, transforming an everyday object into an icon of contemporary material culture - is dressed for the season with a decoration by Arthur Arbesser. The AlkiPaper® body, a composite material developed by Alessi to combine lightness and color performance, embraces a graphic design that dialogues with the polished chrome-plated zamak of the bottle-opener arms: the act of uncorking becomes a ritual, almost a small domestic ceremony. For decades, Alessandro Mendini was the most radical and poetic voice in Italian design: critic, theorist, director of Domus and Modo, and creator of objects that redrew the boundary between design and applied art. Anna G., with her carved eyes and arms raised as if in greeting, is perhaps his most beloved piece among the general public - one of those objects recognized instantly, making people smile without ever sacrificing function. Arthur Arbesser's decoration - the Viennese fashion designer and designer trained in London, known for his sense of color and pattern - adds a further narrative layer to the figure, transforming each piece into a seasonal item, almost a collector's edition. At Stilmobili, we chose Anna G. Parade because it embodies exactly what we look for: objects that tell a story, inhabit the home with character, and turn the moment of opening a bottle into a small gesture of style. It is the ideal gift for those who love authentic design, for the wine enthusiast with taste, and for those who consider the table a place of care and intention. Project notes: height 24.5 cm, diameter 7 cm. AlkiPaper® body with chrome finish. Arthur Arbesser decoration, fall/winter collection.
