"Postindustria. Affinità e divergenze nel design contemporaneo italiano", Postmedia Books, Milano 2021

“If we feel the need for a message of content, here we are asking the object for content, if we need poetic performance, here is the object to answer us with a poetic performance” (Gaetano Pesce).
“Postindustria. Affinità e divergenze nel design contemporaneo italiano” is my first book, and is dedicated to the design practices that go beyond, criticize or redefine the traditional relationship between designer, company and product, hybridizing with the languages of contemporary art, confronting the craft tradition or transforming itself into a semantic device creating a narrative that goes beyond the nature of the object itself.
Published by Postmedia Books, it contains five special interviews with BRH+ (founders of IN Residence), Beatrice Bianco (co-founder of Camp Design Gallery), Domitilla Dardi (curator of MAXXI in Roma and co-founder of EDIT Napoli), Piergiorgio Robino (founder of Studio Nucleo) and Odoardo Fioravanti.
Available on Postmedia Books website (http://www.postmediabooks.it/) and on the main book distribution platforms.
