This timeless work, cast in Italy, captures Mendini’s vision of design as both a functional and metaphysical pursuit. It bears the authentic AM initials stamped on the back—a hallmark of its provenance and exclusivity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMendini, a pioneer of postmodern design, approached \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLassù\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e as more than just a sculptural object—it’s a philosophical statement. The title, meaning “Up There” in Italian, suggests a dialogue between earthly existence and transcendence. The angular, geometric form—evoking both a throne and a temple—encourages contemplation of ascension and the infinite. This duality between the grounded and the celestial defines Mendini’s deeply intellectual yet playful approach to design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike later reproductions by the Vitra Design Museum in 1996 or the limited editions by Short Stories, this \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLassù\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is part of the scarce and sought-after original series.
