BACK IN THE BOOKSHOP: MEMPHIS : RESEARCH, EXPERIENCES, RESULTS, FAILURES AND SUCCESSES OF NEW DESIGN (1985) • First 1985 printing of the UK hardcover edition of "MEMPHIS: Research, Experiences, Results, Failures and Successes of New Design", by Barbara Radice - arguably the greatest reference book on the work of the Italian Design group Memphis. • Written by Radice, a founding member of the Memphis group (and author of "Ettore Sottsass: A Critical Biography"), and documenting in stunning photography and reproduction the vast array of design work that this group produced across furniture, lighting, interiors, architecture, textiles, glassware, etc., this really feels like THE official Memphis book, embodying their spirit and design aesthetic in book form. • Founded in 1981, the international group of architects and designers, Memphis, shook the design world to its foundations. Based in Italy and led by Ettore Sottsass, it overturned and re-shaped the pre-suppositions on which the production of so-called Modern Design is based. It became the almost mythical symbol of the New Design. Laughing out loud at our culture and at itself, Memphis pulled out all stops when it came to colour, pattern, decoration and ornamentation. It sets out to contribute to the continuing dialogue on pop culture, the avant-garde and design. • This book features the work of Ettore Sottsass, George Sowden, Masanori Umeda, Shiro Kuramata, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Peter Shire, Michele de Lucchi, Matteo Thun, Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi, Gerard Taylor, Michael Graves, Aldo Cibic, George James Sowden, Arquitectonica, Hans Hollein, Marco Zanini, Javier Mariscal, Thomas Bley, Martine Bedin, etc. • Via our website and in the bookshop tomorrow. • #worldfoodbooks #memphismilano #AldoCibic #AlessandroMendini #AndreaBranzi #EttoreSottsass #GeorgeSowden #GerardTaylor #HansHollein #JavierMariscal #MarcoZanini #MartineBedin #MasanoriUmeda #MatteoThun #MichaelGraves #MicheledeLucchi #NathalieDuPasquier #PeterShire #ShiroKuramata #ThomasBley (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)

NEW IN THE BOOKSHOP: ANDREA BRANZI - Il Dolce Stil Novo (Della Casa) (1991) Andrea Branzi “Il Dolce Stil Novo (della Casa)” was published in 1991 on the occasion of a very special exhibition featuring works by Lapo Binazzi, Denis Santachiara, Shiro Kuramata, Andrea Branzi, Ettore Sottsass Jr., Massimo Iosa Ghini, Remo Buti, George Sowden, and Borek Sipek. The book collects the reflections of this group of architects of different ages, cultures and backgrounds who were called upon to realize a group of domestic landscapes in the large empty rooms of Palazzo Strozzi Firenze. “Auto-biographical, poetic or theoretical reflections take the viewer and reader to the central point of the project in question: a person’s home. That is, our survival within the artistic universe that surrounds us, within the violence and the vulgarity of our times, in the expropriation and eradication of intrusive streams of information. Building a house for man means building a place and objects within it which make is possible to establish relationships not only of use and functionality, but also of a psychological, symbolic, and poetic nature. Holderlin said, “Man lives poetically,” which means the relationship that binds man to his nest is of a nature, literary, partly obscure, and symbolic.” – translated roughly from the Italian introduction by Andrea Branzi, 1990. This very handsome book compiled by Branzi himself feels more like an artist’s book than an exhibition catalogue, beautifully reproducing intimate drawings, texts, conversations, photographs by the contributors, and printed in an edition of 1250 numbered copies. This copy is number stamped no. 830. One copy in the bookshop and via our website. #worldfoodbooks #andreabranzi #ettoresottsass #1991 (at WORLD FOOD BOOKS)
The Radical Poetry of Andrea Branzi by Toyo Ito. Continuous Present at Triennale di Milano
In a time dominated by technopower and the obsession of the future, I found it revitalising and awakening to enter a space of profound introspection, a state of continuous present, elicited by the powerful combination of Toyo Ito’s refined gaze on one of the most sophisticated thinkers and creative minds of the Italian Design....
Toyo Ito interprets Andrea Branzi’s vision of des…
