Studio Alchimia was a post-radical avant-garde group founded in Milan in 1976 by Alessandro Guerriero and his sister Adriana with the stated mission of "materializing a non-existent thing into being. Studio Alchimia developed into an interdisciplinary and multiform group whose activities included seminars, production of experimental video, clothing design, theatrical set design, product design, decorative arts, performance art, and architecture. 

Please note: These were all hand made in the 1980s using the intricate cloisonné process. Any imperfections within the colors are to be expected and inherent to the process which makes each piece unique and special.

This miniature reproduction has a height of 5.75 inches.  Scale 1:6A bit larger than other Vitra miniatures.
Small enough to hold in your hand!

Miniature scale model of the Studio 65 Bocca Sofa. The Bocca Sofa (also known as the Lip Sofa) is a cult icon of modern furniture design. The Bocca Sofa was designed by the Italian design team Studio 65 in 1970. This Vitra miniature chair ships in a small wooden Vitra box which is perfect for storage or display. This Vitra collectible miniature design chair is constructed to the exact specifications of the original but at a much smaller scale of 1:6. The construction, materials and colors correspond to the historical Vitra Design Museum collection original, right down to the last detail. Because each miniature modern chair is so true to the original, the miniature chair is not only a valuable collector’s item, but also an ideal illustrative material for universities, colleges of design and architects. The Vitra miniatures collection present the most important classics of modern furniture history in miniature scale

A di Alessi, Banana Family.

Design by Stefano Giovannoni & Rumiko Takeda

Collaboration between Alessi and the National Palace Museum Taiwan.

Each piece of the "Family of Mr. Chin" represents a specific household function such being a kitchen timer, salt & pepper set and egg cup. Instead of the usual method of casting a single piece of plastic from a single injection, the character-objects are made with separate moulds (head, hat, body, foot, pompom) which are then assembled like wooden soldiers or porcelain dolls.

Hand-decorated thermoplastic resin. 2" dia., 4 1/4" h

Miniature Version of 100% Make Up Vase

The miniatures collection from Alessi is meant for all fans of design. Now, the iconic designs from the Italian 'Dream Factory' are available in fine miniature versions. Replicas are made of the same materials and finished in the same way as their full-dimensional counterparts. They serve no practical functions but are pleasant to the eye of the beholder. These miniatures can be a wonderful gift for all fans of design and the Alessi brand. The original vase designed by Alessandro Mendini is now available in a miniature version. Its original shape and golden lacquer make it very eye-catching. Although the original is now discontinued, the product has been reborn in this miniature replica.
