A global survey of the most exciting lighting designs for interior spaces, featuring the latest interactive technologies, energy-efficient systems, and otherworldly experiences

The role of light in architecture extends well beyond practical requirements. Light can create an environment, saturate a space with emotion, and compose spatial illusions. When manipulated in the right ways, light makes an architectural space livable, shapes it, and guides the inhabitant through it. As our homes and buildings become increasingly interactive and connected to the “internet of things” (where physical objects such as a lamp or microwave are programmed in the “cloud”), the creative possibilities for lighting are growing exponentially.

This timely publication captures the most imaginative ideas for the use of light in homes and buildings. Some 200 projects are organized into three sections: lighting that transforms space, lighting that alters the experience of time, and lighting that evokes emotion or psychological change. Projects range from design solutions—practical applications and techniques for improving the ambience and function of our spaces for living and working—to highly experimental or immersive experiences that induce physiological responses or use entirely new sources of light, such as bioluminescence or rarefied gasses.

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.

A Roberto Capucci, tra i grandi padri della moda italiana, alla sua arte e al suo genio artigiano è dedicato il nuovo titolo della collana «Mestieri d'arte». La sua storia è ben nota agli studiosi, esperti e appassionati di moda e costume. Nato a Roma nel 1930, il maestro debutta ufficialmente a Firenze in occasione delle prime sfilate di moda organizzate da Giovanni Battista Giorgini e inaugurate da un evento ospitato il 12 febbraio 1951 nella villa di famiglia nel cuore della città. Inizia così l'ascesa del mito Capucci: le sue non sono solo creazioni di alta moda, abiti in tessuti preziosi per le star di Hollywood e le rappresentanti dell'aristocrazia romana e del jet set internazionale, ma vere sculture, straordinarie architetture in tessuto. Già negli anni Ottanta è antesignano della contemporaneità: i suoi abiti destano ammirazione e fanno scalpore, sfilano sulle passerelle di tutto il mondo e sono presenti nei musei e nelle istituzioni d'arte più importanti, dalla Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna di Roma alla Schauspielhaus di Berlino, da Palazzo Strozzi a Firenze al Kunsthistorisches Museum di Vienna, fino alla Biennale d'Arte di Venezia. Un percorso unico: dall'arte all'altissima artigianalità, in oltre settant'anni di attività ininterrotta l'intera carriera del maestro è emblema di un savoir-faire di assoluta eccezione. Ancor oggi la sua creatività si esprime vivissima e densa di suggestioni visionarie soprattutto nei disegni, di cui il volume presenta una selezione di grande fascino e bellezza. Grazie alla ricostruzione esaustiva e appassionata di Gian Luca Bauzano, firma del «Corriere della Sera», giornalista, studioso e curatore di moda, costume e musica, da sempre molto vicino a Roberto Capucci, grande amico e conoscitore della sua vita e della sua opera, il volume ci restituisce il ritratto di un grandissimo artista-artigiano: un vero "tesoro vivente", secondo la poetica definizione che in Giappone si usa dare ai più grandi maestri. L'autore ci offre un racconto intessuto di ricordi personali, che si dipana anche attraverso le immagini dei più celebri abiti di Capucci e dei suoi disegni, tratti dall'incredibile corpus di opere autografe. Un libro che vuol essere in primis un tributo a un'eccellenza che è vanto per il nostro Paese, ma anche «una sorta di poetico manuale per giovani creativi», come osserva Franco Cologni: perché Roberto Capucci, raffinato interprete dell'alta maestria italiana, «ha saputo scrivere parole che oggi i giovani dovrebbero imparare a memoria: arte, mestiere, talento, competenza, lavoro, visione, coraggio, bellezza».
