Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. First impressions count, especially in Milano. In this unprecedented photographic journey, editor Karl Kolbitz opens the door to 144 of the city's most sumptuous entrance halls, captivating in their diversity and splendor. These vibrant Milanese entryways, until now hidden away behind often restrained facades, are revealed as dazzling examples of Italian modernism, mediating public and private space with vivid configurations of color and form, from floors of juxtaposed stones to murals of minimalist geometry. The collection spans buildings from 1920 to 1970 and showcases the work of some of the city's most illustrious architects and designers, including Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi, and Luigi Caccia Dominioni, as well as non-pedigreed architecture of equal impact and interest. The photographs for the publication were exclusively shot by Delfino Sisto Legnani, Paola Pansini, and Matthew Billings, each evoking the entryways with individual sensibility and a stylistic interplay of detail shots-such as stones, door handles, and handrails-with larger architectural views. The images are accompanied by concise contributions from Penny Sparke, Fabrizio Ballabio, Lisa Hockemeyer, Daniel Sherer, Brian Kish, and Grazia Signori, together bringing a wealth of architecture, design, and natural stone expertise to guide the reader through the applied materials and fittings as well as the art-historical and social implications of each of the ingressi. As much an architectural city guide as an aesthetic study, the book provides the exact address and an annotated Milan map for all featured entryways, as well as the architect name and date of construction. In the well-documented realm of 20th-century Italian design, Kolbitz has stepped over the threshold and delivered a brand new area of inquiry in Milanese modernism. With the rigor of its multifaceted research, poised photography, and breadth of its featured hallways, this is an invigorating new reference work and an inside look at the city's design DNA across high to low architecture. First impressions count, especially in Milano. In this unprecedented photographic journey, editor Karl Kolbitz curates 144 of the finest Milanese entrance halls from 1920 to 1970. Sumptuous in diversity and splendor, the volume features some of Milan's most famous architects and showcases the city's design DNA across high to low architecture.

Condition: New. Las primeras impresiones cuentan, especialmente en Milán. En este viaje fotográfico sin precedentes, el editor Karl Kolbitz selecciona 144 de los vestíbulos más elegantes de Milán, fascinantes por su diversidad y esplendor. Estas vibrantes entradas milanesas, hasta ahora escondidas tras fachadas a menudo discretas, se revelan como deslumbrantes ejemplos del modernismo italiano en los que el espacio público y el privado se relacionan a través de vivas combinaciones de formas y colores, desde suelos de piedras yuxtapuestas hasta murales de geometría minimalista. La colección incluye edificios construidos entre 1920 y 1970 y muestra el trabajo de algunos de los arquitectos y diseñadores más ilustres de la ciudad, entre ellos Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi y Luigi Caccia Dominioni, así como otros ejemplos de arquitectura sin pedigrí pero igualmente impactante e interesante. Las fotografías del libro han sido expresamente encargadas a Delfino Sisto Legnani, Paola Pansini y Matthew Billings, que muestran los vestíbulos desde su propia sensibilidad al tiempo que combinan imágenes de detalles ?piedras, asas de puertas o pasamanos? con panorámicas arquitectónicas más amplias. Las fotografías vienen acompañadas de magníficos textos firmados por Penny Sparke, Fabrice Ballabio, Lisa Hockemeyer, Daniel Sherer, Brian Kish y Grazia Signori, que aportan su gran conocimiento sobre arquitectura, diseño y piedras naturales para guiar al lector a través de la historia artística, social y técnica que explica estos ingressi. El libro, que es tanto una maravilla estética como una guía arquitectónica de la ciudad, proporciona las direcciones exactas y un mapa de Milán en el que se sitúan todos los vestíbulos, así como el nombre del arquitecto y la fecha de su construcción. En el ampliamente documentado campo del diseño italiano del siglo XX, Kolbitz ha cruzado un umbral para poner a nuestra disposición una nueva esfera de investigación dentro del modernismo milanés. Con el rigor de su investigación multifacética, unas fotografías serenas y la amplitud de los vestíbulos que en él se incluyen, el libro es una obra de referencia nueva y vigorizante que presenta el ADN estético de la ciudad a través de su alta y baja arquitectura. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. Der erste Eindruck zählt - vor allem in Mailand. Karl Kolbitz hat 144 der eindrucksvollsten Mailänder Eingangshallen dokumentiert und zeigt, welche architektonischen Überraschungen hinter oft unscheinbaren Fassaden warten können. In diesem Zwischenreich zwischen dem öffentlichen und dem privaten Raum, zwischen Drinnen und Draußen haben sich einige der eindrucksvollsten und elegantesten Beispiele des italienischen Modernismus erhalten. Auf dem durchaus wohldokumentierten Terrain des italienischen Designs im 20. Jahrhundert und des Mailänder Modernismus stößt Kolbitz mit diesem Band die Tür zu einem ganz neuen Forschungsgebiet auf. Die Sammlung umfasst Gebäude aus den Jahren 1920 bis 1970 und enthält Arbeiten berühmter Architekten der Stadt, wie Giovanni Muzio, Gio Ponti, Piero Portaluppi und Luigi Caccia Dominioni, aber auch Werke weniger bekannter Baukünstler, die ebenso formvollendet sind. Detailaufnahmen von Fliesen, Mosaiken, Handläufen und Türgriffen wechseln sich ab mit Gesamtansichten, die das besondere Flair und den individuellen Charakter jedes Foyers perfekt einfangen. In ihren begleitenden Texten erläutern Penny Sparke, Fabrizio Ballabio, Lisa Hockemeyer, Daniel Sherer, Brain Kish und Grazia Signori die kunsthistorischen und architektonischen Details dieser Ingressi, benennen Materialien und Einrichtung und zeigen die sozialgeschichtlichen Hintergründe auf. Das Buch, das gleichermaßen als architektonischer Stadtführer wie als architekturhistorische Studie gelesen werden kann, enthält einen Stadtplan von Mailand, in dem alle dargestellten Objekte eingetragen sind sowie alle Adressen, Architektennamen und die jeweiligen Baujahre. Dieses erquickliche Nachschlagewerk, das den Mailänder Modernismus in seiner gesamten Bandbreite durchdringt, bietet erhellende neue Einblicke in das gestalterische Erbgut der Stadt.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Also available as Art Edition (No. 1?1,000) including an exclusive, square format reproduction of the Arlecchino coffee table and a set of four numbered ocean liner interior prints. 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 expand intuitively with the Italian grandeur and studied lightness that defined his iconic style. Ponti?s rare capacity to move seamlessly between scales allowed him to approach the design of a teaspoon with the same conviction as he did 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 contribution is also a distinctive landmark of Italy?s mid-century Renaissance and the modernist values it sought to realize. This is the most comprehensive account of Ponti?s work to date, unprecedented in scale and scope. It tracks the development of his oeuvre over 6 decades, with 136 projects indexed and reproduced in high resolution, each object framed by the context in which Ponti had created it. Like windows onto his elusive life, unpublished materials and candid imagery create new dialogues between his famous masterpieces and his lesser-known feats. A rich layer of texts, featuring an extensive biographical essay by Stefano Casciani, was produced in close collaboration with the Gio Ponti Archives offering an intimate insight on his life?s work. Materializing Ponti?s core philosophy of modernity, this book presents architecture as a performing object, a "self-illuminating" stage for his humanistic art de vivre and boundless creativity.…
