Form. Light. Function. The hemisphere SF 28 by Tecnolumen reflects the spirit of European modernism. Designed within the circle of architects working parallel to the Bauhaus and influenced by Swedish functionalism, this lamp embodies reduction, clarity and purpose.

The Ulm stool was designed in 1954 by Max Bill, the first director of the Ulm School of Design, in collaboration with Hans Gugelot. The stool was to be used by the school’s students and was produced in the school’s joinery workshop, using donated wood.

From pasta, to men’s hats, to theater performances, to typewriters, and beyond, artists of the time applied modern aesthetics to create graphic, engaging, color-blocked posters (among other advertising materials) that not only forwarded Modernist and Futurist thinking among artistic circles into the common visual vernacular, but made advertising a form of artistic expression in its own right.

A new exhibition at Manhattan’s Center for Italian Modern Art looks at the cross-pollination between avant-garde art and commercial posters in post-WWII Italy.
