Furniture and Interiors of the 1970s by Anne Bony,Ivan Rakočević Pdf

"The 1970s - a revolutionary decade born out of the turbulent late 1960s, during which militant outspokenness and cultural unrest shook up society with lasting effects. Protest against cultural norms and a disillusionment in consumerism went hand in hand with a strong sense of social commitment that propelled radical creative and functional changes in design." "Furniture and Interiors of the 1970s bears witness to the fusion of influences - both societal and individual - that took hold during this explosive decade and catapulted design into its contemporary framework."--BOOK JACKET.

Italian Empire Furniture by Enrico Colle Pdf

Napoleon's arrival in Italy in the late 18th century had far-reaching effects-- trends evolved not only in the social and political realms, but also in the country's style and taste. From tapestries to furniture, a new look emerged in interiors, a style connected with Italy's past and Napoleon's ideals. Enrico Colle, one of Italy's leading experts on Italian furniture and period interiors provides the first systematic catalog of this rich time and place in decorating history. "Italian Empire Furniture" is the definitive analysis of its subject. A thorough overview of the style, followed by detailed entries on major pieces of furniture, and full-page color illustrations make this long-awaited reference book a priceless addition to the libraries of scholars and collectors alike. This volume, the first of a series devoted to styles of furniture, illustrates the singular and highly original direction that the Empire style took in Italy during the period of French rule and of the Restoration, up to around 1840, when it was gradually overshadowed by a revival of historical styles. The introduction provides a thorough overview of the evolution of the Empire style in Italy and is accompanied by a treasure trove of archival material including prints and drawings from design manuals of the period. The role of the major art institutions of the time, as well as the influence of key individuals, from architects and interior decorators, to cabinetmakers and their patrons, adds to this landmark study of the complex artistic and cultural influences behind the formation and evolution of the Empire style. Each chapter in this definitive study is devoted to the interiors of the royalpalaces of key duchies and kingdoms. In particular, emphasis is given to the taste of the court, and to examining the interest shown by the various sovereigns of the Italian states in encouraging the development of the Empire style within the framework of prevailing individual tastes. Included in this volume are detailed inventories and catalogue entries complete with a thoroughly researched provenance for each item of furniture. With over 200 color photographs, approximately 235 drawings, and an informed critical text, "Empire Style in Italy" is a significant work that casts new light on the subject and serves as an invaluable resource for scholars and furniture collectors alike.

Antiques in Italian Interiors by Roberto Valeriani Pdf

Antiques in Italian Interiors, Volume II presents a collection of extravagant Italian interiors that house marvelous collections of artwork and antiques. Following the success of the previous volume in the series (published by Verba Volant in 2005), this new book will open the doors to more private residences belonging to merchant princes, collectors, and royalty. The fifteen interiors selected by art historian Roberto Valeriani and architectural photographer Mario Ciampi are located throughout the Italian peninsula. In the capital city the Galleria Colonna, with its opulent halls and parlors, contains a celebrated art collection that belongs to a prestigious Roman family. Embellished with frescos dating back to the seventeenth century, the princely baroque spaces boast masterpieces from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. The book passes from one noted locale to another, from the affluence of the papal Rome to the opulence of Catania where Palazzo Biscari, the oldest baroque palace in Sicily, was the one of the settings for Goethe's Italian Journey . The rich style and ambience of the collection of interiors in this volume demonstrates the full power of the elegance that can only be achieved by arranging precious artwork and antiques in stunning spaces with classic Italian style.

Italian Living Design by Giuseppe Raimondi Pdf

"Superbly illustrated, this book discusses the interrelationships between culture and design in Italy in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Each decade is introduced with an outline of the popular trends in fashion, cinema, television, and industrial design in the context of Italian politics and society. The author discusses developments in manufacturing and marketing and the effect of economic trends on the design industry. The best of the furniture and design exhibitions and salons of the time are recaptured and their impact on other media is examined. The designs and projects of Franco Albini, Vittorio Gregotti, Gae Aulent, and Ettore Sottsass are among the many that are highlighted. Chairs, lighting, beds, and shelving are displayed in lofts, apartments, and country and suburban houses where conventional decor and cutting-edge furnishings are ingeniously combined. A multitude of products and interiors by the leading Italian designers of the last three decades is documented in beautiful photographs."--
