Multidisciplinary Aspects of Design
This open access book gathers the contributions from the Design! OPEN International Conference, held in Parma, Italy in May 2022. The conference explored the multidisciplinary aspects of design starting from its dimensions: objects (design as focused on the object, on its functional and symbolic dimension, and at the same time on the object as a tool for representing cultures), processes (the designer’s self-reflective moment which is focused on the analysis and on the definition of processes in various contexts, spanning innovation, social engagement, reflection on emergencies or forecasting), experiences (design as a theoretical and practical strategy aimed at facilitating experiential interactions among people, people and objects or environments), and narratives (making history, representing through different media, archiving, narrating, and exhibiting design). The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaboration among different specialists.

Made in Italy
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.

Giovanni Klaus Koenig
Giovanni Klaus Koenig (1924-1989) è stato architetto, designer di mezzi di trasporto su rotaia, docente universitario, appassionato studioso di treni e di tram, critico dell’architettura contemporanea, storico dell’industrial design, intellettuale impegnato nella soluzione dei problemi della sua città, Firenze. Il tutto in anni nei quali l’attenzione critico-operativa sull’attuale era inusuale, la disciplina del design da fondare, la pratica progettuale in seno alle aziende di materiale rotabile da parte di un architetto insolita. Il testo si propone di ricostruirne la figura a specchio con il contesto cittadino e con quello nazionale sia con l’apporto di quanti l’hanno avuto come interlocutore sia con il contributo di studiosi che hanno approfondito alcuni temi della sua ricerca. L’obiettivo non si limita alla mera ricomposizione di una figura culturalmente incisiva, ma si propone di indicare allo studioso di oggi ambiti da approfondire, le ‘scie fosforescenti’ che ci ha lasciato in eredità.
