A watch made by Alessi? Not strange at all!

Then, also many other designers dedicated some of their time to watches: Ron Arad, Alessandro Mendini, Piero Lissoni, Alberto Meda, Patricia Urquiola.

Last, but not for importance, there is the eccentric Karim Rashid, who, in the year 2005, has designed Kaj, a watch made in polyurethane, essential but imposing and overall colourfull! It has became a cult through the fashion addicted, enough to gain the favor of Carla Sozzani, who has chosen it for her boutique 10CorsoComo (Milan).

F.F.F.
Family Follows Fiction
designed by Stefano Giovannoni, Guido Venturini, Stefano Pirovano, Massimo Giacon, Philippe Starck, Mattia di Rosa, Alejandro Ruiz, Michael Graves, Biagio Cisotti, Alessandro Mendini, Lorena Bozzoli and CSA/LPWK.
A di Alessi products are the result of longstanding collaborations with the best international designers.
Working from a desire to introduce the public at large to the quality and exclusivity of the finest contemporary design, they have created a line of “democratic” and accessible products for every home.
This innovative grater is part of the Family Follows Fiction (F.F.F.) range, hilariously funny and fantasy-inspired products ideal for enlivening any family home.
The metaproject F.F.F. begun in 1991, grew out of a desire to explore the emotional structure of objects, focused in the most delicate, intimate, sensory human needs.
The objects became ludic tools, telling little tales, giving captivating twists to everyday uses, suggesting a mediation with playfulness and becoming a bridge to the fantastical.
At the outset the idea was to reproduce the process of creation and animation of the object common to the world of childhood and to primitive cultures.

Since 2004, the year of “Anna G.” and “Alessandro M.”, we have all been waiting for a new element of surprise on the corkscrew front. “Parrot”, the practical, pocket-sized sommelier corkscrew, has been designed to meet these expectations.

Could Alessandro Mendini be just a little envious of the huge success achieved by “Anna G.”?
Perhaps that is why he has decided to give us a new character, “Alessandro M.”.
It is obvious that this corkscrew is a self-portrait of its designer. It may seem simple on the surface, but in reality it was a difficult business, inventing a new character that would fit neatly into what was the author’s own autobiographical happening, but would also enhance the international design scenario. I truly admire the expertise with which Alessandro (the designer) was able to develop the project, conferring this new creation with a very clear identity, different yet complementary to his now authoritative companion.
Moreover “Alessandro M.” is a totally innovative product: alongside the standard version, now offered in two color variations, there is also, and for the first time, the introduction of a series of seasonal haute-couture collections: as you will see in the images, this is the concept of garments designed to specification for fashion demands, basically ranges of limited series especially for collectors, which will be renewed with the seasonal cadence of fashion design.
