An architect without being one, an anomalous designer, a gifted
draftsman and collector of objects, Luca Meda (1936-1998) wrote one
of the most important chapters in the history of 20th-century
Italian design. The world of domestic interiors was his privileged
field of action, and the very close, one-of-a-kind relationship
with Molteni&C has provided, since the seventies, an example of
perfect symbiosis between creativity and business, art and
industry. Among the pieces of furniture that have become iconic are
the Piroscafo bookcase designed together with Aldo Rossi, the Zim
and Ho chairs, the Vivette armchair, the Primafila sofa and the
modular systems 505 and Pass. This publication offers an exhaustive
portrait of Luca Meda, at long last highlighting the importance and
extent of his production - which includes furniture, installations,
architectural projects and design objects of all sorts - in the
context of a still pioneering season of Italian design, but to whom
we nevertheless owe the subsequent success on the world stage. The
historical-critical essays dedicated to his work are accompanied by
a series of interviews with collaborators and friends who shared
knowledge and practice in the realisation of his projects, as well
as the re-edition of an interview with Meda himself, published on
"Gap casa" in 1983. Bio-bibliographical appendix and a list of
works complete the fascinating journey of the volume. Critical
essays: Serena Maffioletti, Alberto Ferlenga, Sofia Meda, Nicola
Braghieri, Beatrice Lampariello, Rosa Chiesa, Giampiero Bosoni e
Chiara Lecce, Dario Scodeller, Mario Piazza. Interviews: Luca Meda,
Romano Barchi, Mario Carrieri, Nicola Gallizia, Eliana Gerotto,
Peter Hefti, Felix Humm, Laura Maifreni, Bruno Longoni, Carlo
Molteni, Diego Peverelli, Richard Sapper, Filippo Zagni. Text in
English and Italian.
