This inspiring volume takes readers on a tour of luxurious interiors
that showcase the best of Italian design and architecture.
As part of the series dedicated to "Made in Italy" architecture and
design (Carlo Scarpa, Piero Portaluppi), this latest book features a
stunning collection of interiors by acclaimed Italian designers and
architects from the second half of the twentieth century. Each of these
exquisite spaces perfectly embodies the designer's unique creative
spirit, encapsulating both the essence of the designer's personal style
and taste with the trends of the era.
The ten projects, all specially photographed for the book, include such
names in Italian architecture and design as: Carlo Mollino, Carlo
Scarpa, Ettore Sottsass, Gae Aulenti, Osvaldo Borsani, Piero and Barnaba
Fornasetti, among others. Ranging from residential to office spaces,
each of these unique spaces has remained largely unchanged, and decades
later they still speak for those who conceived of and inhabited them:
Casa Fornasetti provides a unique testimony to the world of Piero
Fornasetti, and now that of his son, Barnaba, who carries on his work
and brand with strength and innovation; Casa Mollino represents the peak
of architect Carlo Mollino's ideas, beautifully serving as his aesthetic
and conceptual legacy; and the vibrant, ironic, colorful Casa Quarestani
perfectly sums up the poetic vision of Ettore Sottsass.
This book will be a must have for lovers of bold design and stylish
Italian interiors.
