Starting with the historical Compasso d'Oro Collection of objects of Italian design, the book tells the story of Italian creativity and production innovation between 1961 and 2011, through images ranging from documentaries and film stills to first-hand accounts, and advertising.
Some 400 Italian design objects form the collection of contemporary high-quality products are not just whose reference points in the world of production, but also research, experimentation, and the contamination of languages, a highly topical theme.
