Alchimia: Never-Ending Italian Design

"Murmansk" fruit bowl by Ettore Sottsass for Memphis

"Labrador" sauceboat by Andrea Branzi for Memphis, 1982

Samovar and candelabrum by Guglielmo Rienzi for Alchimia, 1984

In 1983, Alchimia designers collaborated with the Italian firm Alessi on "Programme no. 6", which was an effort to introduce Post-Modernism and hand-craftsmanship on a small scale (vs. machine mass-manufacture) to the company's production. Above are several of the hand-made tea service items from "Programme no. 6".
