Stilnovo — 1950s Design, Borngräber Books

An exciting specialist book by Borngräber on Stilnovo design of the 1950s — dedicated to a formative phase of European design history. The era was characterized by new forms, experimental materials, and a clear departure from the purely functional design of pre-war modernism.

Organic lines, curved shapes, and a freer approach to construction and materials increasingly defined furniture, lighting design, and architecture. The Italian manufacturer Stilnovo from Milan represents a particularly experimental, yet very elegant design approach within this movement and remains one of the most sought-after international manufacturers of Italian lighting design to this day.

The book is very suitable as a collector's item for lovers of Italian design, Mid-Century Modern, and historical lighting culture. It shows how design changed after the Second World War and how designers began to rethink function, form, and atmosphere. With 202 pages, it is interesting both as a source of inspiration and as an addition to an existing design library. Good used condition.

Dimensions: 202 pages.
