NOTE: Studio Alchimia was a design collective founded, pre-Memphis, in 1976 in Milan by Alessandro Guerriero and his sister Adriana Guerriero-Reali. Designers Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi, Bruno and Giorgio Gregori, Paola Navone, Daniela Puppa, Andrea Branzi, and Franco Raggi all contributed to the work of the group. They encompassed Architecture, theatrical design, decorative arts, product and clothing designs and their ethos was at counterpoint to the aesthetic of the Bauhaus and the other industrial and minimalist designers. They were interested in a colour and the play between forms and were happy to embrace modern technologies. The Studio Alchimia closed in 1992.
