A di Alessi "Mandarin" Lemon Squeezer

Born in La Spezia in 1954, Stefano was instructed in architecture and design by Buti at Florence University. In the early 80s he founded the King-Kong Production Group along with Guido Venturini. His explosive talent enables him to embody a complex system of ‘affective codes’ in his projects. This great approach won him the title of ‘Super & Popular’ designer in the 90s.  A technical designer par excellence he has industrial design in his DNA and the capacity to understand public sentiment like no other designer mentioned here.

Stefano Giovannoni started working for Alessi in 1989 with his fellow Florentine, Guido Venturini as the “King-Kong” partnership. From then on he has designed for the Alessi 2001 production, developing into one of the most admired designers in Italy.

His playful expressions found a great empathy when Alessi stressed the technical envelope in quality plastic products. He’s the designer of our famous Merdolino toilet brush, the fruit Mama and Mary Biscuit box. He has also created steel pans such as the Alessi “Mami” which show his talent in designing interesting products even when confronted with straight criteria presented in these different technical areas.

A di Alessi "Anna G" Corkscrew Black

Alessandro Mendini was born in Milan in 1931 and graduated in 1959. He is an architect, artist, designer and design manager, theorist and journalist and began his profession at the Nizzoli studio.  In 1989 he opened the Atelier Mendini in Milan with his brother Francesco and continued his career as a sophisticated, pop designer. The key element is always a clever hybrid between art and design resulting in popular objects that achieve great commercial success.

A di Alessi "Anna Stop 1" Bottle Cap Red

Alessandro Mendini joined Alessi in 1977 while, under his guidance, Modo, a design and architecture magazine destined to make quite a stir over the following years, first started. Maybe the most post-modernist designer in Italy, he returned to design seriously in the 80′s, although his oldest and most famous item is from 1994 – the Anna G corkscrew. An instant success, the Anna family started to grow, including salt and pepper mills, bottle caps and kitchen timers.
