Alessandro Mendini chose the Qfwfq cabinet designed in collaboration with ALPI in 2018 for the exhibition “The World of Alessandro Mendini” dedicated to the design master, on display from 12 October to 5 May 2020 at the Groninger Museum.












The Groninger Museum is an internationally recognized landmark and on the occasion of its twenty-fifth anniversary, pays homage to its designer with an exhibition conceived by Mendini himself shortly before his death, articulated between visual arts, architecture and design. A real tale about the great architect's imaginative, poetic and humorous work through a selection of his creations, along with some works by great artists and designers with whom Mendini felt an elective affinity. 
ALPI's contribution to the Groninger Museum highlights the company's deep connection with Mendini's work and celebrates its historic collaboration, born from the shared passion for a free aesthetic research. Qfwfq is in fact part of the furniture collection designed by the master for ALPI on the occasion of the "Tre Primitivi" exhibition in 2018. 
The exhibition highlighted, in the Milan Showroom, three archaic forms - Qfwfq, Ayl and Luna & Sole - which take their name from the protagonists of the Cosmicomic by Italo Calvino “Without Colors,” the leitmotif of the creative thinking behind the show. The pieces were made with the veneers Pointillisme COL and Pointillisme B/N created by Atelier Mendini with Alex Mocika.
