Italian Furniture Design - Albrecht Bengert - Book

This book by Albrecht Bangert deals with the development of Italian furniture design as an independent epoch. The focus is particularly on the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, when Italian design gained significantly in international importance.

The volume shows different currents and positions: organic design by Carlo Mollino, rational design by Franco Albini, Marco Zanuso and Osvaldo Borsani, classical modernism by Gio Ponti, sculptural design by Joe Colombo and Vico Magistretti, as well as experimental and radical approaches by Achille Castiglioni, Gaetano Pesce, Archizoom, Superstudio, Alchimia and Memphis.

This makes the book an excellent reference for collectors, dealers and design enthusiasts who want to better understand Italian furniture history. It is also suitable as accompanying literature for Italian lamps, furniture and objects from the second half of the 20th century.

The edition is in English, comprises 192 pages and is in good condition.
