The destructive aftermath of World War II demanded a redesign of life in northern Italy. With its rich historical, artistic, and labor heritage, alongside modernist and rationalist influences, northern Italy experienced a revival as an empire of industry and design. As success grew, designers began challenging modern and functionalist concepts, transforming Italy into a global design powerhouse. This two-part lecture series will examine design through historical, geographical, technological, and cultural perspectives, exploring the rapid development of design in Italy. We will present iconic objects, lighting fixtures, and furniture pieces that reshaped our lives, while discussing their ongoing influence on today’s design industry.
