Book Description: Five Continents Editions, Italy, 2008. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 280 x 220 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. The modern and contemporary furnishing industry of Italy represents a unique paradigm, on account of its industrial design production created by the most important international architects and designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. While reams have been written about Italian architects and designers, until now no volume has ever been dedicated to those who contributed to the success of these designers. "Backstage" takes a behind-the-scenes look at the entrepreneurs who deftly invented the most important phenomenon of modern and contemporary furnishing: those who risked and invested in innovative products that have became icons of design, and those who believed in a new form of elegance. In a detailed historical analysis from the fifties to today, Stefano Casciani follows the career paths of the movers and shakers of the design world. The protagonists are also depicted in striking black-and-white portraits by the Norwegian photographer Tom Sandberg.These portraits of entrepreneurs such as Bruno Danese, Giulio Cappellini and Patrizia Moroso, tell of the individual and collective experience of constructing the image of Italian design worldwide.From the Luisa chair by Poggi to the Thinking Man's chair by Cappellini, from the Tizio lamp by Artemide to the Glo-ball by Flos, the text discusses the past and present of the various entrepreneurial histories and the development of the culture of Italian design. Finally, bio-bibliographical apparatuses complete the volume and enhance its usefulness as a reference book on design. Bookseller Inventory # AA99788874394418

Book Description: 5 Continents Editions, 2008. Book Condition: New. Qual è il vero volto del design in Italia? Quello già conosciuto e ormai famoso dei grandi designer italiani? Quello dei tanti prodotti che hanno creato l'immagine del Made in Italy nel mondo? O non piuttosto la presenza fisica di centinaia di imprenditori che, a partire dagli anni Cinquanta, hanno creduto e investito in prima persona nei valori della creatività e del progetto? Questo libro propone un'ipotesi radicale: senza questi imprenditori, il design italiano sarebbe stato molto diverso, o non sarebbe stato affatto. L'analisi storica e critica di Stefano Casciani e i ritratti fotografici del norvegese Tom Sandberg descrivono la figura di industriali spesso partiti da piccole botteghe artigiane e da un grande desiderio di riscatto dopo i difficili anni della guerra, iniziando quasi sempre in giovanissima età. Profondamente convinti che anche nella produzione seriale potessero entrare i valori della qualità artigianale, hanno creduto in una nuova forma di eleganza e hanno reso possibile la nascita di veri e propri oggetti-icone, mobili, lampade e tanti altri oggetti che hanno creato la fisionomia inconfondibile del "nuovo paesaggio domestico" del Made in Italy.
