Goods made or designed in Italy enjoy a profile which far outstrips the country's modest manufacturing output. Italy's glorious design heritage and reputation for style and innovation has 'added value' to products made in Italy. Since 1945, Italian design has commanded an increasing amount of attention from design journalists, critics and consumers. But is Italian design a victim of its own celebrity? Made in Italy brings together leading design historians to explore this question, discussing both the history and significance of design from Italy and its international influence. Addressing a wide range of Italian design fields, including car design, graphic design, industrial and interior design and ceramics, well-known designers such as Alberto Rosselli and Ettore Sottsass, Jr. and iconic brands such as Olivetti, Vespa and Alessi, the book explores the historical, cultural and social influences that shaped Italian design, and how these iconic designs have contributed to the modern canon of Italian-inspired goods.

How do we learn about the objects that surround us? As well as gathering sensory information by viewing and using objects, we also learn about objects through the written and spoken word - from shop labels to friends' recommendations and from magazines to patents. But, even as design commentators have become increasingly preoccupied with issues of mediation, the intersection of design and language remains under-explored.Writing Design provides a unique examination of what is at stake when we convert the material properties of designed goods into verbal or textual description. Issues discussed include the role of text in informing design consumption, designing with and through language, and the challenges and opportunities raised by design without language. Bringing together a wide range of scholars and practitioners, Writing Design reveals the difficulties, ethics and politics of writing about design.

Questo album illustrato racconta la storia di un incrocio fortuito tra grafica e politica che l'autore ha vissuto 35 anni fa. L'incontro con il Partito Comunista Italiano avvenne nel 1986 (e 5 anni dopo il PCI sarebbe scomparso) quando l'autore, allora giovane grafico, vinse il concorso indetto dal partito per la realizzazione di un simbolo per la Festa nazionale dell'Unità, tenutasi a Milano nel mese di settembre di quell'anno. È la storia di un progetto e dell'uso che ne è stato fatto, tra inediti documenti privati e curiose immagini pubbliche, il tutto raccolto allora dall'autore, oggi ritrovato e reso disponibile in questo libro. Ne esce un quadro imprevisto di come un simbolo grafico possa trovare una strada inusuale e diventare patrimonio collettivo, se non ci si ostina a essere dogmatici, scoprendo invece di aver realizzato un progetto nel quale molti si sono riconosciuti e che pure hanno usato come meglio gli pareva. Il libro, postato inizialmente dall'autore su un canale social con molte visualizzazioni e condivisioni, trova oggi nuova vita e distribuzione su piattaforma editoriale a titolo gratuito, così com'era stato pensato sin dall'inizio.
