The catalogue is dedicated to exhibition VISI di Alessandro Mendini hosted in the Manica Lunga Library of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini. Thirteen objects and six drawings signed by Alessandro Mendini make up the core of a precious and unexpected exhibition project, a tribute to one of the most famous Italian designers.

Staged in collaboration with the Archivio Alessandro Mendini and Codiceicona, this exhibition is dedicated to Mendini’s research around the power of the body as a matrix of design. It is simply entitled VISI, because it is precisely the face that is the focus of this collection of works created between 1987 and 2018, underlining how it has long been a precious source in design research.
