L'evoluzione di una delle aziende trainanti del design italiano. Cento anni di storia raccontati con un alternarsi di protagonisti della cultura italiana e internazionale: da Gillo Dorfles a Oscar Farinetti, da Alberto Capatti ad Aldo Bonomi, da Aldo Colonnetti a Gianfranco Zaccai, fino alle narrazioni dei protagonisti diretti dell'impresa come Adolfo e Domenico Guzzini, e molti altri protagonisti del design di ieri e di oggi: dai tempi pioneristici di Luigi Massoni e di Rodolfo Bonetto, via via passando per i Noorda, Antonio Citterio, i Santachiara, i Sottsass, fino ad arrivare ai più contemporanei Robin Levien, Angeletti Ruzza o Karim Rashid, per citarne soltanto alcuni. Un catalogo completo di tutti i tipi di oggetti dal design accattivante, ma facili da usare, familiari, economici, estremamente pratici e riciclabili.

Furniture by Architects reveals how the same fundamental principles used in building design can be applied on a much smaller scale, resulting in pieces of furniture that embrace function, beauty and context to become objects of art. For centuries, architects have turned their hand to custom furniture in a practice that has resulted in a number of iconic designs, including the timeless Eames Lounge and Ottoman and the ubiquitous Barcelona chair created by Mies van der Rohe for his acclaimed Barcelona Pavilion.

Furniture by Architects beautifully illustrates bespoke design by some of the world's leading architects, who are increasingly designing furniture as clients seek interiors customised to specific needs. Foster Partners' 520 Armchair for Walter Knoll has the texture and comfort found in a traditional leather armchair, while the Liquid Glacial Dining & Coffee Table by Zaha Hadid Design, made from polished clear Plexiglas, capture the spirit of her architecture, with their distinctive fluid lines, revealing the waves and ripples below the surface.

This text covers the work of fashion designer, Ossie Clark - a key figure in 1960s and 1970s London. His golden era lasted from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s, when fashion, photography, art and music all flourished as never before in the glamorous world of Swinging London.
