Alessandro Mendini Vasi a sfere I have been working on various elementary geometrical shapes: the surface of a sphere, the folding and rolling of a sheet of some kind of material. In this way I can obtain many forms, by altering their dimensions as well as their juxtapositions and intersections.the colours and materials, their opacity and glossiness, play an active part in this game.

Proust Armchair - designed by Alessandro Mendini in 1978. This unique armchair represents the original meeting between handcraft and design, between classic and modern. It is part of Mendini's series of "redesigns furniture". Believing that Modern Design had reached the end of its natural life and that designers could no longer create innovative designs, Mendini "redesigned" acknowledged classics. Proust chair is inspired from the Louis XV style. Mendini was attempting to create a feel for the work of late XIX Century author Marcel Proust and used a style of chair of the period.
