Alessi’s Anna G. is a playful corkscrew originally designed by Alessandro Mendini in 1994. To celebrate the bottle opener’s 30th anniversary, Alessi has updated the beloved character both in terms of aesthetics and materials. Anna G.'s familiar features – the smiling face, long neck, and delicate arms – remain unchanged, but she now wears a completely new outfit. In the Parade version, Anna G. is dressed in a festive, rainbow-coloured long dress made from chrome-plated zamak and a biocomposite that resembles traditional plastic but is more durable.
