Kandissi, a lacquered wooden sofa with fabric – upholstered padding was inspired by Wassily Kandinsky, and is the fruit of a perfectly coherent cross-pollination with the Russian Master’s theories. Kandissi is part of the Bau-Haus 1 collection designed in 1978 by the Studio Alchimia group, founded two years earlier by Alessandro and Adriana Guerriero, and that soon attracted a fresh, erudite, experimental and provocative sensivity, turning the international design system upside down
