Chest of drawers Nigritella Nigra
In the 1980s, Alessandro Mendini was the linchpin of Studio Alchimia, a collective of radical designers and architects in Milan. They freely combined materials, patterns, forms and colours in a way that ran counter to the purism of Modernism. The studio ceased to exist in 1990. Mendini designed this chest of drawers while working on the Groninger Museum.
