Catalogue Essay
Alessandro Mendini, like me, is a former editor of Domus. In the 1000th issue, published in April 2016, we and the other seven surviving editors each contributed 10 pages.
The hand-painted 'Poltrona di Proust' is Mendini’s most well-known work, combining polemical power with striking visual presence.
