"Paolo Roversi is known internationally for his romantic, intense, and ethereal fashion images and portraits — images that quiver on the edge of their own seemingly fragile existence. A typical Roversi photograph appears as if captured in the process — it develops on the page right before our very eyes or, depending on your perspective, might simply vanish into the ether. Since 1980 Roversi has worked primarily in 8-by-10 Polaroid, and rarely on location. Studio is a milestone in his burgeoning bibliography. The book, designed as a series of gatefolds, appears to be a collection of empty pages at first glance. The experience of looking is akin to that of peeling away the leaves of a Polaroid — out of the blackness, an image is revealed as if by magic. The images collected here — a self-portrait of the artist and a portrait of the place that stands at the center of his work — represent nearly two decades of work and are a mix of both the published and the highly personal: landscapes, portraits, fashion images, and photos of the studio itself"--http://www.steidlville.com/books/168-Studio.html.

This book presents the design and history of Poliform from a unique perspective--that of fashion photographer Paolo Roversi. This is the story in pictures of a dimension of living that differs from every other. While there have been attempts to create a philosophy of interior design, there has rarely been an effort to discover the soul of furniture and objects. That is what Paolo Roversi has tried to do with his camera in these pages, which are devoted to Poliform, the Italian company that has successfully transformed ancient Italian artisanal traditions into contemporary furniture. By using what have always been his raw materials--time, light, space--Roversi leads us on a photographic journey to the middle of the Poliform universe, helping us to relive the company's story and capture the mysterious, unmistakable soul that makes the surfaces and volumes of its objects vibrate.
