Description: >> --> >> --> Description >> --> SWATCH Lots of Dots "Lots of Dots" (model no. GZ121), from the 1992 Spring/Summer collection, was designed by Alessandro Mendini, a master of Italian design with his slightly scary, bulging eyes. Together with Ettore Sottsass Jr. and Michele De Lucchi, he worked in the avant-garde design group "Studio Alchimia," and became known as a proponent of "neo-modern design." He has produced works for many companies, including Zanotta and Fiat, but his Alessi "ANNA" wine opener is particularly famous. Im sure many of you have seen it. The green, red and blue dots in "Lots of Dots" are called "Proust" and appear in Mendinis representative work, "Prousts Armchair" (1978). This work features a pointillism technique used by Neo-Impressionist painters Seurat and Chanic on an 18th century French Neo-Baroque armchair. By the way, the Alessi "ANNA" wine opener was also released as a limited edition model in 2003. (Hand painted!) When it was released, the Swatch boom was in full swing. This was a time when limited collections by famous artists such as Kiki Picasso and Keith Haring were being traded for millions of yen. This "Lots of Dots" was one of the models that was difficult to obtain and had a premium, but whether it was good or bad, perhaps because Mendini was not that well known, the premium level was only about average. The surface of the plastic windshield has a thin (although barely noticeable) Mendini signature on it. It was opened for the purpose of taking photos.
