This book inaugurates a series of publications under the title Stones devoted to interior design. This book showcases twenty such homes, twenty mini-narratives, each one conveying an individual lifestyle and design for living, and illustrative of the shifting frontiers in which the common denominator seems to be the quest for new interior models and functional blueprints that can express, through specifically architectural means, quite distinct identities. These fragments document the complex upheaval that interior design has been undergoing, branching out in all directions with a spate of new ideas on the home as the 'mirror of the soul', and meanwhile reinvesting the act of designing with its former poetic and conceptual contents. Text in English and Italian. |

The crucial importance of getting one's message across in today's media-driven society has prompted a surge of developments in the area of installation design. This book offers a critical update on the theme, and testifies to the acutely experimental approach adopted for installation projects, which involve interweaving input from a variety of different disciplines to produce a single focused design. The very temporary nature of installations gives a strong communication edge to all design features — be it a cultural message, for a product, or for entertainment — fostering a lively concentration of the various aspects of interior design. Text in English and Italian. |
