Extremely rare etching with a design by Alessandro Mendini where with his unmistakable style he designs an antique car with personal additions, like poetry verses on tires or silver-coloured applications on the headlights. Alessandro Mendini, who graduated in Architecture at the Milan Polytechnic in 1959, was among the renovators of Italian design from the late 1970s, both as a theoretical intellectual and as an authoritative member of the Alchimia group. He then worked for numerous companies such as Alessi, Venini, Bisazza, Cartier, Swatch, Swarovski, etc. He received many awards for his designer activity, including the Compasso d'Oro twice in 1979 and 1981. He directed many architecture magazines including Domus, Casabella and Modo which he himself founded. Total size (included the frame): approx. 53 x 40 cm
