Alessi SG53/5 Mami Side Plate (Priced Each, Sold in Sets of 6)
Giovannoni's porcelain dinner service and his set of "Mami" glasses complete the basic range of items of the Alessi table as conceived by a designer who, with a unique combination of expressive talent, humour and understanding of the market, left a strong mark on the 1990s. These projects bear witness to a significant element of novelty in his art, represented by his desire to combine playful themes, for which he is so well known, with a completely new trend, which we are tempted to define a search for classicism, harmony and originality developed, as only he can, along the lines of the maternal figure.
