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.
