Alessandro Mendini used to work by drawing: every day, without interruption.
In his life he designed a great variety of objects, small and large, useful and less useful, normal and wonderful, often poetic. When he drew a pair of glasses on a character's face, or placed on a bedside table, he always represented them in the same way: round, two small circles. Maybe it was his way of representing glasses in a universal way as if they were the very essence of his shape or maybe it was just a coincidence.
The glasses designed by Alessandro Mendini for Brera can now be worn and who knows, perhaps recognize yourself: a little architect, a little designer, a little harlequin. Certainly a bit of a poet.
