Alessandro Mendini (1931-2019)
Pair of table lamps
Brushed and lacquered metal
Edited by Studio Alchimia
Model created circa 1982
H 47,5 × L 12 × W 8 cm
Note: Created for Ambrogio Beretta's residence, photographer linked to the Alchimi and Domu groups in the 1980s. When, in 1982, Ambrogio Beretta found an apartment in Porta Venezia in Mlan, he gave free reign to the Alchimia group, with Mendini at its head, to entirely decorate it before using it for his theatrical performances. A small edition of this lamp exists with small variations (foot, color…).
