Condition: COME NUOVO. Milano, 5 Continents Editions cm.28,5x23, formato albo. pp.239, 145 illustrazioni a colori e bn. legatura ed.soprac.fig.a col. Ediz. italiana e inglese. 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. A cura di Gunda Dworschak. Introduzione di Massimiliano Fuksas. Fotografie di Tom Sandberg.

Hardback. Condition: New. To study Gio Ponti's prolific body of work is to appreciate the clear, unifying vision behind a complex creative universe. A synthesis of the arts, his creations unfold intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti's rare ability to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as that of an entire city. He was as much an architect and designer as he was a publisher, poet, and man. A treasure in its own regard, his legacy endures as a landmark of Italy's mid-century Renaissance and the modernist ideals it sought to realize.Compact yet comprehensive, this volume traces the evolution of Ponti's oeuvre over six decades, presenting more than sixty projects reproduced in high resolution-each framed by the context in which it was conceived. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery reveal new dialogues between his celebrated masterpieces and lesser-known works. The book features writings by Lisa Licitra Ponti and an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani. Conceived in close collaboration with Ponti's grandson, Salvatore Licitra, founder of the Gio Ponti Archives, it offers an intimate and authentic perspective on the architect's life and work. Embodying Ponti's philosophy of modernity, the book presents architecture as a performing object-a self-illuminating stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity.
