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.

Questo è un libro particolare: pur ripercorrendo alcune attività di carattere strategico e culturale di BMW Italia degli ultimi quindici anni, l'automobile e i mezzi di trasporto non sono i protagonisti del racconto. Al centro della narrazione è il contesto, dalla città al territorio, ma soprattutto a esplorare il futuro sono centinaia di giovani progettisti che via via sono stati chiamati a disegnare, con i propri linguaggi ed esperienze creative, alcuni temi strategici per il mondo; "il futuro della città", "la città su misura", "la città che comunica", "dare valore all'acqua", "aria nuova in città". Un patrimonio, unico e straordinario: in primo luogo una serie di mostre, poi un sistema di concorsi, il MINI Design Award, coordinato e giudicato da progettisti come Oriol Bohigas, Alessandro Mendini, Michele De Lucchi, Frangois Burkhardt, insieme a Elio Fiorucci, il tutto sotto la regia di Gillo Dorfles e a cura di Rossella Bertolazzi. Un vero patrimonio conoscitivo, dal quale in seguito si è sviluppata la terza tappa, questa volta inventando una vera e propria scuola di talenti - il BMW Creative Lab, con il coordinamento didattico di Michele Capuani - che per tre anni, su temi diversi, hanno lavorato e proposto una serie di prodotti innovativi, facendo dialogare il centro di ricerca di BMW di Monaco con alcune aziende italiane, protagoniste del Made in Italy: Fratelli Guzzini, Napapijri, Stone Island. Il premio finale: il lavoro, in Germania e Italia. Un percorso esemplare, dove i risultati e i progetti realizzati costituiscono un patrimonio unico di conoscenza: il futuro è già qui, bisogna saperlo leggere. e interpretare.
