About the Item

Large Soli Box in painted wood with gilt interior circa 1990 for Studio Alchimia by Alessandro Guerriero (born 1943). Bold primary colors blue, red and yellow, accented by an aquamarine blue, an eau de nil green and black. The box stands on a black ceramic base. Open the top and see an entirely gilt rounded interior. Dimensions: height 12in (30cm); diameter 9in (23cm) Alessandro Guerriero is one who likes to change the rules. He has been doing this for over thirty years. At least since, in 1976, he founded Alchimia, the group of designers who gave face and ideas to the Italian post-avant-garde. If there is to blow up a pattern, bend reality or just coloring a thought, Guerriero never backs down. Talk to your own vocabulary. A vocabulary in which the adjective to put next to the word "Design" is "Romantic" (he called it that, the theory with which he looks at his craft). Guerriero's works are everywhere - from the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art to Metropolitan Museum in New York - but his kaleidoscopic gaze has also settled on less orthodox spaces for architecture and design. Alessandro Guerriero has reinvented newspapers (like when he edited OLLO - Magazine without Message in 1988), concerts and theaters (with his scenographic projects for the Matia Bazar and the Magazzini Criminali), prisons (with the Cooperativa del Granserraglio, composed of prisoners in semi-liberty ), schools (founding, in 1987, the Domus Academy and then, in 1995, the Futurarium of Ravenna, an educational laboratory where you can learn the "fading of disciplines"). The "Compasso d’Oro" 1982. Alessandro Guerriero is now a teacher at the Polytechnic of Milan and president of Naba, the New Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. For Absolut World, he designed the wall at the Columns of San Lorenzo and, in order not to leave anyone alone, he launched the Compasso di Latta a few hours ago ... not to mention Tam Tam, an extreme school of design. " Those who rebel self-produce".
