Contemporary Furniture
The following write-up is an
extract from furnishingfromitaly.com - While in the last fifty years a whole
international design culture has developed, we must thank the Italians for
their tremendous creative input in the area of design. Their innovative
ideas and creativity have revolutionised not only our homes but also our
workplaces and even the places where we eat, drink and socialise. Think
about that the next time you pull up a chair / stool at that trendy espresso
bar or club.
Many icons of modern furniture design have
become so common place and ordinary to us that now we take them for granted.
Have you ever sat on bean bag and wondered who invented it? Who ever came up
with the idea of making a table out of glass? The high tech furniture we see
in today's offices or in some of the trendiest bars and restaurants in town,
have all been the brain child of some of Italy's leading designers and
architects.
Post war
Boom
To discover how Italian Contemporary Design developed into what it is today,
we need to go back to years after the war. Before World War II, Italy had
made little or no contribution to industrialized consumer products.
The Post war boom in the economy changed all that, creating an environment
in which design could flourish.
Investing in design was not only the
prerogative of the big Italian industrialists. There were also many small
family-based operations who were willing to take risks with innovative
designs. Young Architects, often unable to find work on big projects, were
often enlisted to work with these manufacturers on small-scale design
projects. They were hired not just as draughtsmen, a cog in the wheel of
industrial production but were the first design professionals who controlled
directly what they designed from start to finish.
Many of their "industrial creations" have
become design icons and can be admired today in museums of modern art. It is
not by chance then, that with Italy's industrial expansion, a new style of
office furniture and home furniture evolved , symbols of the new industrial
economy - steel, chrome, plastic and
fibreglass.
Another important factor
was the role of the individual designer. Before the 1950s, artists and
architects dabbled in making furniture or objects as an expression of their
own creativity. These artist-designers were often eccentric loners who did
not have the support of a manufacturing industry to put their ideas into
production and deliver them to the masses.
The combination of industry with creativity
and innovation was the spark that set alight the whole of contemporary
design production in Italy and it is a system which works today.
The
Anti-Design Movement
A movement that is often called the
Anti-Design Movement (1965-1976) was essentially a rebellion
against the interdisciplinary theories of modernism and German
functionalism. The Pop-cultures
and Anti-cultures were emerging
and the market focused on this new, youthful energy. With new upholstery
techniques there was a revolution in the manufacture of
padded sofas, pouffes and
easy chairs. The introduction of
PVC in the mid 1960s was
particularly suited to the Pop Culture. With PVC new
inflatable chairs, sofas, pillows
appeared, even tables and lighting. They were a now a medium of sculpture.
Legendary designer Gaetano Pesce's
"UP" sofa in 1969 and his "Donna
" chair symbolising femminity in 1968 were in themselves works of
art. They also happened to be functional and comfortable to sit on!
1990-2003
There are no longer national boundaries between designers so clearly cut as
in the past. Italian designers work in the United States and other countries
and designers from other countries work with Italian manufacturers.
While the
older design "masters" continue to design new products, there is a new
generation of designers who are faced with the task of finding new
directions for Italian design. Each year at the Milan International
furniture fair, the designs on display, demonstrate clearly that the Italian
tradition for innovation and design is continuing full speed ahead into the
future.
