Il disegno da Altamira a Picasso

Valentina Durante
D. Zanetti Editore

Un libro che tratteggia la storia di cent'anni dello sportsystem italiano integrandola con l'evoluzione del design, dell'economia, della società, delle sottoculture urbane, della moda, dei principali fenomeni culturali e artistici. Citazioni da film e trascrizioni di brani musicali, elenchi di marchi e descrizioni tecniche di prodotto, cifre macro e micro-economiche e dissertazioni sullo sciamanismo. Tutto concorre a delineare un quadro il più possibile sfaccettato e organico di una realtà - quella dell'abbigliamento e della calzatura sportiva nostrana - ancora poco analizzata e dibattuta.

An unprecedented survey of modern lighting design foregrounding its materials, innovators, and far-reaching influence

Offering the first comprehensive history of lighting design from the 20th and 21st centuries, Electrifying Design: A Century of Lighting explores how lighting has been integral to the development of modern design both in terms of aesthetics and technological advances. This fascinating book outlines the key aspects of lighting as a unique and creative artistic discipline and examines themes such as different typologies, the quality of light, and the evolution of the bulb. A series of essays by Sarah Schleuning and Cindi Strauss showcase lighting designs from different time periods and geographic locations and feature the work of significant figures, including Poul Henningsen, Ingo Maurer, and Gino Sarfatti. With over 130 illustrations of functional and sometimes fantastical designs, a historical timeline, and comprehensive artist biographies, this handsome volume expands our understanding of an understudied but influential art form and demonstrates lighting's central role as both an expression of and a catalyst for innovations in modern and contemporary design.
