Italian designer and architect Alessandro Mendini’s work has been characterized by his expressive fusion of cultures depicted across various mediums including graphics, paintings, modern design furniture, books, and interiors. When he isn’t busy designing, Mendini also works as an instructor at the prestigious University of Milan and he serves as a member of the jury at various architecture competitions.

Born in 1931, Mendini obtained his architecture degree from from Politecnico di Milano in 1959 and trained with fellow Italian architect Marcello Nizzoli.
