“The Zabro editions that Aurelio Zanotta executed for the New Alchemy in the 1980s were a remarkable training ground for linguistic experimentation. In those days Italian design had forded counter-design, radical design and the early aspects of postmodernism. Zabro’s intense experience provided me, personally, with a concentration of many formal and conceptual hypotheses that Zanotta and Alessandro Guerriero directly, and very quickly, turned into prototypes of furniture, objects and decorations. Zabro was precisely the closing season of the parable of Alchemy, made possible and tied to Zanotta’s expertise of craftsmanship.” Alessandro Mendini, 2003
