Alessandro Mendini and His 'Radical' Things

One of the masters of postmodern is Italian interior designer and architect Alessandro Mendini, born in 1932 in Milan.

Distinctive features of Mendini:

  • colourful things,
  • the rhythm and kaleidoscopes of the 80's,
  • an open struggle with banality,
  • he boldly calls his style 'kitsch', but mixes cultural contexts,
  • always gives names to his pieces of furniture.

Alessandro Mendini became a symbol of Italian radicalism, is one of the founders of the school of radical architecture and antidesign Global Tools (1973), is the creative leader of the Alchemy band (1979). So I offer you to estimate his works and the grade of his amazing fancy.
