Cubosfera table light is an artwork realized by Alessandro Mendini (1931-2019) in 1968. H. 17 x 15.5 x 15.5 cm. Clear glass, frosted, metal sheet and tube, aluminum sheet. Ref. Bibliography: Domus 467 (ottobre 1968), p. 35; Rosamaria Rinaldi, Alessandro Mendini Progetto infelice, Ricerche Design Editrice, Milano, 1983, p. 49. Alessandro Mendini was born in Milan in 1931 and here he graduated in architecture at the local Polytechnic. Initially associated with the Nizzoli studio (1960-1970), he is among the best known and most appreciated contemporary designers, protagonist since the seventies of the renewal of made in Italy production thanks to his adhesion to numerous avant-gardes of Radical Design (among others Alchimia, the first place of experimentation on the theme of decoration, which earned him a Compasso d'Oro in 1981) and tireless participation in the theoretical debate. In fact, he directed the magazines "Casabella" (from 1970 to 1976), "Modo" (founded by him in 1977 and led until 1981) and "Domus" (1979-1985; 2010-2011), whose direction he was initially called by Gio Ponti himself, about to leave due to having reached the age limit. Among his most famous writings are “Paesaggio casalingo” (1979), “Architettura addio” (1981), “Progetto infelice” (1983), “Existenz maximum” (1990): all occasions, these, during which he developed fundamental concepts such as "neo-modern design" (equated to sixteenth-century Mannerism, which was able to corrode the classic rules of design from within), "banal house" (which recognizes the value of ugliness and kitsch in everyday life ) and redesigns. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
