AM23 25 - Alessandro M. Merry Boy Corkscrew

Overview

Design by Alessandro Mendini, 2011.
By Alessi.

The Alessandro M. Merry Boy corkscrew was selected as the 2011 symbol for "The Dream Factory" project, a partnership between Alessi and the International AIBI - Amici dei Bambini. The Dream Factory was launched in 2006 with the aim — just like Santa Claus — of making dreams come true for children that are being raised in orphanages in many countries around the world.

This year the project focuses on tiny babies still too young to have real wishes of their own, apart from the unique and imperative one of wanting to stay with their mothers. For them, the first Mother-Child Community, managed by Amici dei Bambini, will be built in the Milan area in 2011. It will be a protected, safe place where new moms in need will be welcomed with their little ones.

Merry Boy is hand-decorated in green, white and red, the colors of Italy. Arrives in gift-packaging.
