An essential new look at the design philosophy that interrogated
modern living against the turbulent political landscape of 1960s
Italy In the mid-1960s, reacting to contemporary social and
political upheaval, young Italian architects and designers began
developing a new style that openly challenged Modernism. Known as
"Radical design," this movement probed possibilities for visually
transforming the urban environment. Radical design's proponents
also applied it to items such as furniture and lighting, utilizing
alternative materials and an innovative formal vocabulary. Radical:
Italian Design 1965-1985 surveys the work of these pioneering
designers through nearly 70 objects and architectural
models-including rare prototypes and limited-production pieces.
Cindi Strauss insightfully explores the aesthetic inspiration and
changing cultural mores that informed the movement, and her
research is complemented by an essay from Germano Celant, the
acclaimed author and curator who coined the term "Radical design."
Importantly, the book includes seven interviews with Radical
designers and architects, offering fresh insights into the
individuals who were at the vanguard of this groundbreaking
movement. Published in association with the Museum of Fine Arts,
