Alessi — Millennium Jr. AL20002 | Miriam Mirri wristwatch

There is something deliberately playful about Alessi's Millennium Jr.: a wristwatch that does not take itself seriously, yet does so with precise formal consistency. The pink thermoplastic resin case and white polyurethane strap make up a small object that carries the chromatic lightness of the years in which it was created - that transitional moment between two millennia when design allowed itself optimism and color without inhibitions. Its compact dimensions, 3.6 × 4.6 cm, make it almost a wrist jewel, closer to a style accessory than to an instrument for measuring time. The design bears the signature of Miriam Mirri, a Roman designer among the most distinctive and recognizable voices on the Italian scene of the 1990s and 2000s. Mirri has always worked on the subtle boundary between auteur design and pop culture, between irony and compositional rigor. The Millennium Jr. is a precise example of this tension: an apparently lighthearted object that conceals a reflection on form, color as a language, and the relationship between the body and the things that inhabit it daily. At Stilmobili, we chose to include it in our selection as a testament to a specific moment in Alessi's history - that fertile period when the Fabbrica dei sogni of Crusinallo opened its doors to under-the-radar designers capable of surprising. It is a piece for those who love design with historical memory, for those who collect signed objects beyond their primary function, and for those who can recognize the value of an edition that is now discontinued. Project notes: classified as end-of-line, the Millennium Jr. belongs to the Alessi fall/winter collection. Code AL20002, weight 301 g with packaging. A piece to preserve, not merely to wear.
