Last 16 September the ‘dream factory’ art gallery in Milan hosted an event that will travel the world.
“Breakfast stories” is a set of cups and saucers decorated by Miriam Mirri with different stories. This new project that Alessi chose to represent 2009 partnership with the International Association ‘Amici dei Bambini’ was presented in the attendance of Matteo Alessi, Director of Trade Marketing and International Development and Marco Griffini, chairman of Ai.Bi. Amici dei Bambini.
About fifty children between 3 and 12 years were invited to take part in a workshop to decorate cups that Miriam Mirri left white for them. The workshop that was carried out under the supervision of Miriam Mirri and pedagogist Marta Stella Bruzzone produced about 50 colourful cups, the result of children’s creativity.
The cups decorated by the children will be displayed together with the three sets designed by Miriam Mirri in the Alessi shopwindows of the Milan store in Via Matteotti 9, for the Universal Children’s Day from 17 to 23 November before being returned to their little owners.
The “Breakfast stories” collection of cups and sauceers by Miriam Mirri are nice and original Christmas gifts that will also help unpriviledged children all over the world.
Ai.Bi. is an International Humanitarian Aid Organisation committed for over twenty years to safeguarding the rights of abandoned minors and give them the right to a family. Alessi and Ai.Bi. have been collaborating in the last three years to fulfill the dreams of many children around the world. The 2009 project is completely devoted to Colombia.
Colombia is the third largest country in Latin America with an overall population of approx. 45 million people. An amazing and rich country with a terrible history characterized by a civil war that has been devastating it for decades.
