Alessi — Anna G. AM01 Z | Mendini Chrome-Plated Zamak Corkscrew

Alessi Anna G. - The Corkscrew with a Woman's Face

There is something disarming about opening a bottle with Anna G.: that smiling little face in your hands transforms an ordinary moment into a small domestic ceremony. Since 1994, this corkscrew designed by Alessandro Mendini has become one of the most beloved and recognizable objects in the Alessi universe - not just a simple utensil, but a character that inhabits the kitchen with irony and grace.

Why we chose it for you

Alessandro Mendini is one of the most refined Italian designers of the 20th century, equally at home in art, architecture, and applied design. With Anna G., he created an object that is both pop and sophisticated: an ironic tribute to a real woman, whose stylized silhouette has become a cult figure over the years, inspiring an entire family of tableware accessories. Alessi - a research workshop in the applied arts founded in 1921 on Lake Orta - is the natural home for an object like this, where function and storytelling blend without giving precedence to either.
