Three are available: Stanza selvaggia (Wild Room), Stanza sensuale (Sensual Room), and Stanza meditativa (Meditative Room). The reverse side bears Alessandro Mendini's printed mark.

Alessandro Mendini (1931–2019), a key figure at Studio Alchimia and later editor of Domus magazine, never separated drawing from the object itself. The De Gustibus collection, presented at the Triennale Design Museum in Milan in March 2015 and produced by Design Memorabilia, demonstrates this in this exercise: four imaginary rooms, four moods, rendered in line drawings like vignettes.

The plates are sold separately. They can be drilled for wall mounting, a use for which the series was designed as much as for the table.
