As early as January 1980, working in his Princeton studio, Michael Graves decided that from then on he would be spending at least half his time on design. It was a definitive statement which, moreover, corresponded to his great potential in this field. Michael does not like theory even though he once confessed his desire to develop an "American" design. In any case, between the eighties and nineties he showed an incredible ability to tune in to the tastes of even the average public: for this reason he is considered to be a forerunner of "Super & Popular". Graves' highly personal and easy to recognize formal style blends influences from the European tradition, Art Deco, American "pop", and flashes of pre-Columbian culture. He has shown he can bewitch the public like only very few designers can. His success derives from his wholly uninhibited approach to the economic dimension which this activity inevitably entails, an attitude that enables him to read the expectations of the public more clearly than his European counterparts.
"With Alessi, tradition extends to the idea of family. As a designer you and your people are brought in and treated as member of a family-it's a very personal relationship of designer and manufacturer. This is what ties everything."
Michael Graves
