Design by Alessandro Mendini, 2003.
By Alessi.

Could Alessandro Mendini be just a little envious about the enormous success achieved by "Anna G."? Perhaps that is why he has decided to give us a new character: "Sandro M.", because 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, while also enhancing the international design scenario. Designer Alessandro was able to develop the project, conferring this new creation with a very clear identity, different yet complementary to his now authoritative companion.
