Stilnovo Decio Giulio Riccardo Carugati Electa: Milano 2013 29cm English 151 Hardback

Scarce title on Stilnovo published on the brands relaunch in 2013. Concentrates on lighting from the 1960s onwards. Book release blurb below. 

Founded in Milan by Bruno Gatta in 1946, Stilnovo has been the leading light fixture designer for decades. This book is published to mark the relaunch of this prestigious lighting brand, which was a powerful symbol of Made in Italy around the world and is now making a comeback. A laboratory and hotbed of ideas, since the years of reconstruction and the first economic boom, it has attracted the interest of the historic magazine ""Domus,"" becoming an essential reference point for prestigious names in Italian design, from Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni to Joe Colombo, Danilo and Corrado Aroldi, Roberto Beretta, Antonio Macchi Cassia, the De Pas D'Urbino Lomazzi studio, Ettore Sottsass, Cini Boeri, and Gae Aulenti, who have designed memorable pieces for this small Milanese entity. Examples include Periscopio, Manifesto, Nuvola, Multipla, Bridge, Topo, Triedro, Lampiatta, and Lucetta, all the way up to the Trepiù and Gomito systems—all excellent links in a highly successful production chain designed to satisfy the most diverse forms of use, from residential interiors to public spaces, and above all, always attentive to the choice of materials, sensitive to innovation, and recognizable in the differentiation of its aesthetic signature.

Condition: Dust jacket slightly ruffled at edges with marks to the rear of the jacket and a small tear on edge. Contents slightly age toned at page extremities.
