"Programma 8" by Franco Sargiani and Eija Helander, 2005. The Seventies: Franco Sargiani and Eija Helander designed "Programma 8" for Alessi. This systematic and comprehensive project of small modular and stackable household items was based on the very same methodological premise of the "international-style" architecture of the period: the theory of open-system meta-design ideal for the free composition of unlimited living and formal models. Defined by Alessandro Mendini as "the most evolved system of household objects ever created on an international level" (Paesaggio casalingo, 1979), this design concept radically overhauled the implements used for table and kitchen service, oriented towards maximum practicality and flexible use. At the time it was presented, it created an enormous stir in the small world of the Arts de la table, and it has now been taken up again and completed by adding the function of preserving to the original ones of cooking and serving.
