The first book to exclusively present Cleto Munari's latest creations in the field of the applied arts: a unique collection of art carpets. Cleto Munari was born in Gorizia and he lives and works in Vicenza. After meeting Carlo Scarpa in 1973, who encouraged him in his work, he decided to focus his attention on the area of industrial design, and began to work for some of the most important companies in the world. Constantly in search of original ideas, over the years he has tirelessly been engaged in analyzing and experimenting with both forms and material. In 1985 he opened a laboratory-studio-jeweler's, where, together with a group of worldclass architects, he designs and produces silver jewelry and other objects for avant-garde collections that truly represent historical revolutions in jewelry both in Italy and abroad, and have also led to the production of watches, pens and furniture. Cleto Munari's objects have entered the permanent collections of some of the world's top museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This book is the first to exclusively present Cleto Munari's latest creations in the field of the applied arts. After his jewelery, silverware, watches and furnishings, the great designer has involved ten other designers and artists in the creation of a unique collection of art carpets. Signed by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Dario Fo, Mario Botta, Alessandro Mendini, Javier Mariscal, Ettore Mochetti, Deisa Centazzo, Sandro Chia, Mimmo Paladino and by Cleto Munari himself, these creations are full-fledged works of art and represent the high point of the skills and expertise of one of the greatest creative designers in the world, who has been designing and producing for over forty years.

Il design dell'automobile non è una delle tante declinazioni del design, ma una professione del tutto distinta che media continuamente tra artigianalità e sistemi tecnologici avanzati, tra manualità e modelli matematici. Questo libro racconta dall'interno i principali aspetti di un mestiere d'arte, quello del car designer, che unisce l'alta tecnologia a una straordinaria artigianalità, qualità fondante dei Centri Stile, dove le superfici dell'auto prendono forma grazie alle mani sapienti di disegnatori, modellisti, sellai, fabbri, pellettieri. Vi sono raccolte 14 interviste a famosi car designer italiani, di nascita o di formazione, che hanno reso grande questo mestiere e hanno contribuito in modo essenziale al successo di tutti i più grandi marchi di auto del mondo, da Mercedes ad Audi, da Lamborghini a Ferrari, da Fiat a Maserati a Toyota: una raccolta di pensieri, visioni, opinioni, suggerimenti sui grandi temi che ruotano intorno a questo affascinante mestiere, nelle testimonianze dei suoi maggiori protagonisti. L'excursus storico ricostruisce le origini e il contesto in cui si sviluppa il primo saper fare dei carrozzieri italiani degli anni venti, grandi ispiratori dei car designer di oggi. Si approfondiscono gli aspetti principali del mestiere, le sue contraddizioni, i vincoli sempre nuovi e complessi: regole e leggi, esigenze di mercato, problematiche legate all'inquinamento, alla ricerca di nuovi propellenti, alla salvaguardia dell'ambiente.
