Footnote 
An important figure in 20th-century avant-garde architecture and design, Alessandro Guerriero co-founded Studio Alchimia with his sister Adriana in 1976. Together they formed a design collective with a revolving cast of members including Alessandro Mendini, Bruno Gregori, Giorgio Gregori, Arturo Reboldi, Pier Carlo Bontempi and Carla Ceccariglia. The ground-breaking group worked across various media, approaching creativity and innovation through dialogue and experimentation whilst challenging the norms of form and function. 

In 1982 Alchimia was awarded the Compasso d'Oro for research in design. Among their most important commissions are the Stanza Del Secolo in the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, the Mobile Infinito at the Museum of Modern Art of Tokyo, and the Fin-de-Siecle room at the Centre George Pompidou. 


Overall general surface wear to include scratches, scuffs, marks, small knocks/indentations, minor losses particularly to corners/edges. There are two areas of visible colour retouching to blue panel on one side, some small losses to base of interior. Please refer to photos.
