- Summary
- This book accompanies an exhibition at the Triennale Design Museum, and is the first major monograph on unorthodox designer Ugo La Pietra. A humanist and eclectic designer, an architect by training, artist, filmmaker, musician, cartoonist and teacher, La Pietra successfully identified new relationships between design and crafts, the culture of 'making' and design. Theoretician of the "genius loci", he rediscovered the value of craftsmanship at a time when almost everyone was celebrating the "magnificent progress" brought by industrial mass production. Often using humour and even sarcasm, La Pietra places at the centre of his work the relationship between man and environment.
