The “Mami” Table and glasses sets virtually complete at least the basic Alessi table, as conceived by a designer whose astonishing combination of creative talent and humour together with his capacity to relate to the public, has resulted in his leaving his unmistakable mark on the 1990s. A strong new element of his current poetics is undoubtedly the desire to explore a new area that I am tempted to define as the research of classicism, harmony and the archetypal, interpreted as only he knows how, while continuing to develop the playful leitmotif at which, as we all know, he excels, surprising and delighting us. This is evident in his most recent works, from the “Mami” cutlery and knives to the complex project “Il Bagno Alessi”.
