Alchimia and the Italian Design Revolution
Experimental, radical, and postmodern: Studio Alchimia, founded in Milan in 1976, achieved worldwide fame by breaking with traditional design concepts. The Italian movement liberated design from the constraints of function and rationalism. Their designs for furniture, fashion, architecture and accessories remain influential in international design to this day.
description
Alchimia led the way for a radical revolution in design, reorienting the process towards cultural visions rather than standards of taste. After the internationally acclaimed Italian design of the 1950s and 1960s, their clear break with the previous generation signified a groundbreaking new start that went far beyond questions of design. In addition to focussing on the Alchimia group, this opulently illustrated volume offers a look at Memphis and the 1980s and 1990s, developments that changed design history. Innovative and daring, this book explores bold visual ideas that continue to inspire.
