Alessi Anna G. Corkscrew (Colors) by Alessandro Mendini

About the Designer
Alessandro Mendini Italy (1931 - )

Known for his particular interest in neo-modern and contemporary design, Alessandro Mendini has amassed much recognition as a designer, architect and image consultant for many corporations creating many objects, furniture and interior installations. Mendini describes his mission as one "to communicate through my objects and work in general, trying to say things that encourage people to deepen meditation and spirituality." Mendini's design of the Anna G. Corkscrew adds pizzaz and functionality to your bar tool collection. As functional as it is eye-catching, this corkscrew makes it a breeze to open your favorite bottle of port, while you turn heads in style. Inspired by Mendini's then girlfriend, the corkscrew, which was reissued in chrome-plated zamak in 2003, has been a fantastic success since its launch in 1994.

In the Anna G. Corkscrew, Mendini has definitely defined a new design for this common item. With all the functionality of a traditional corkscrew, Mendini has utilized all of its components to resemble the shape of a girl - Anna G. to be specific. It has been noted that this design supposedly was made to resemble Mendini's girlfriend at the time, how anthropomorphic! This piece is made from durable polyamide and chrome-plated zamak.

• Corkscrew function - anthropomorphic design
