Alessandro Mendini (born August 16, 1931, Milan-died February 18, 2019, Milan) was an Italian designer, architect, editor and essayist who played an important part in the development of Italian design during the second part of the 20th century. Aside from his artistic career, he worked and wrote for Casabella, Modo, and Domus magazines. In the 1970s, he was one of the main personalities of the Radical Ddesign movement. In 1979, he became a partner of Studio Alchimia, where he worked with Ettore Sottsass and Michele De Lucchi.
Mendini graduated from Politecnico di Milano in 1959 with a degree in architecture and worked from 1956 until 1970 as a partner with architect Marcello Nizzoli at his Industrial Design studio Nizzoli Associati. In 1973, he cofounded the architectural and urban planning studio Radical Design Group. In 1970, he also started his career as an editor, first as the managing editor of Casabella magazine from 1970 until 1976. He then served as a founder and managing editor of his own magazine, Mode, from 1977 until 1981 and then as the managing editor of Domus magazine from 1980 until 1985.
The project Superego was born in 2003 within Movimento Moderno, a company working in design, decorative arts and antiques for several years. Through the co-operation with some of the most important Italian and international designers, Superego intends to create exclusive collections, in limited and numbered editions of pottery and objects made in plexiglass or other materials. -
