Massive 'Anna G.' sculpture from the Alessi store in Atlanta, Georgia by Alessandro Mendini (b. 1931). ' 'I like irony, I like to play a game, I like to stay far away from rhetoric: that’s the reason why I let the objects I design express all these ideas, turning them into a sort of toys you can use even though you’ve grown up.' With these words, Alessandro Mendini, Italian architect, designer and artist--one of the protagonists of the renewal of Italian design in the 80s under the name of 'Neo-modernism'--describes the mood that inspired him while he created one of the most iconic kitchen design utensils: Anna G., a corkscrew in the shape of a woman.' {source:finedininglovers} (Key Word Search: Droog, Marcel Wanders, Ron Arad, Memphis, Sottsass, Italian, post modern, Allesandro, Alesandro, pop) good, tight crack along neckline, chips along edge, some scuffs and scratches
