Publisher's Review
“Even if you haven’t heard the name Mendini, we are bound by his work.” Alessandro Mendini, who expanded the boundaries of design with his unique designs and colors!
Mendini was a pioneer who changed the course of the times with his own design philosophy that went beyond aesthetic perfection.
At a time when only functionality and practicality were pursued, his masterpiece, the 'Proust Chair', caused a great stir as a design that simultaneously embodied practicality and artistry.
He then designed the Groninger Museum and curated the exhibition "Italy: A New Domestic Landscape" at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, putting Italian design on the world stage.
In addition, he founded the Domus Academy to nurture new designers, and while working as an editor-in-chief of renowned architecture and design magazines such as Casabella and Domus, he discovered numerous new designers.
Mendini is not just a designer who creates beautiful products.
He viewed design from an emotional perspective rather than a functional one, redefining the relationship between people and objects, and the boundaries between life and art.
Today, his designs are still a part of our daily lives.
The design philosophy he developed has changed the way we create and use things, and even the way we decorate and interpret space.
Alessandro Mendini once said, "True design is something that catches the eye and provokes thought." His story will provide much-needed inspiration to children pursuing their creative dreams.
From a boy who loved to draw to a world-renowned designer
Discover the growth story of maestro Alessandro Mendini!
Art has always been a part of Mendini's daily life.
I spent every day drawing, and found solace in art even during the horrors of war and the difficult life as a refugee.
During my college years, I was fascinated by the saying, "Architecture is art," and set out to find my own design philosophy.
Since then, he has rebelled against the mainstream, uniform architectural design and led a new design movement by pursuing ‘design with emotion.’
As a result of his hands-on approach to finding new designs, his designs changed the concept of products and left a meaningful mark on the field of modern industrial design.
《Who? Special Alessandro Mendini》 portrays Alessandro Mendini, who looked at the world from a new perspective and became the world's best.
By reading this book, children will learn how to develop their own ideas, just like Mendini.
