Design Italiano by Evan Orensten
The Repertorio Del Design Italiano 1950-2000 is an indispensible guide to modern Italian design of the last fifty years. It took the authors more than ten years of research to assemble this thorough resource. If your Italian is a bit rusty you can rely on the 2,000+ images to follow the work of one of the dozens of designers or firms covered.
$250, in Italian, available exclusively in the U.S. at Design Within Reach where additional photos of the book and its contents are available.
