Alessi — AM23A AM23A 31 | Alessandro M. Liquid Mendini corkscrew

There is something ritualistic about opening a bottle of wine. A gesture that deserves a tool to match, capable of transforming an everyday action into a small act of beauty. The *Alessandro M. Liquid* corkscrew was born from precisely this conviction: holding it already means beginning to celebrate. Made of AlkiPaper® — the recycled-paper-based composite material patented by Alessi — and chromed zamak, it features a fluid, hypnotic decoration by Studio Temp, where color moves like ink in water, dense and perpetually dissolving. Alessandro Mendini, the undisputed master of Italian postmodern design, dedicated some of the twentieth century's most iconic pieces to Alessi. The *Alessandro M.* series bears his name like a proud signature: objects that embody his vision of design as a poetic language, where function never exhausts meaning. The Liquid decoration, developed by Studio Temp, amplifies this poetics with a painterly aesthetic that transforms each example into a piece with its own perceived uniqueness. At Stilmobili, we chose it because it perfectly represents the kind of object we love: one that inhabits the table without being subservient to it, one that tells a story even when it is not being used. It is the perfect gift for those who collect beauty in the details, for wine enthusiasts who never separate sensory pleasure from aesthetic pleasure, and for anyone who wants to bring home a piece of Italian design without giving up everyday practicality. *Project notes* — Height: 21 cm · Diameter: 6 cm · Materials: AlkiPaper® and chromed zamak · Decoration: Studio Temp · Weight: 310 g · Collection: Alessi Palinsesto fall/winter.
