Alessi Chocolate Box

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.

“Like life, a box is an enigma: it's an infinite system of surprises to be opened, mysteries to be revealed. If you use this box for chocolates, which it was designed for, it becomes a secret treasure of hidden delights. Or you can use it as a repository for the little things that matter to you, for your special memories. The shape is a deliberately melancholic allusion to the mysterious face of a sleeping person.” (Alessandro Mendini)
