Alessandro Mendini has often thought of his project as a system of signs that are now simple, now complex, intertwined with each other, and infinitely developed on objects, houses, furnishings and surfaces.

Stilema 6, pattern from 2006, is part of the "Visual Alphabets": signs, colors, images, decorative elements, always similar but always different, in a continuous and endless movement, like suspended meanings, awaiting for their destiny to indicate a function.
