Designed by Alessandro Mendini in 1985 and reissued as a tribute to one of Italian design's most expressive sensibilities, the Cuculia Bowl occupies the space between object and sculpture. Its sinuous, petal-like form is not incidental - it is the point, a gesture toward a postmodern design philosophy that treated proportion and color as emotional language. Crafted in polished polyurethane, Cuculia offers a surface that catches light with quiet intensity. The material choice reflects Mendini's willingness to work outside convention, finding poetry in the synthetic and the bold. The result is an object that reads differently depending on where it is placed - on a dining table, a console, or an open shelf. Designed by Alessandro Mendini, 1985 Reintroduced by Zanotta as part of its archival heritage program Polished polyurethane construction Suited for display surfaces, consoles, and dining settings
