Beschreibung

<p>This book examines postwar Italian craft and design (1948-1962) through a multidisciplinary lens, reassessing its significance today. It explores the enduring appeal of artifacts within and beyond museum contexts, emphasizing their role as dynamic tools that transcend historical value. Addressing future challenges, the book highlights their relevance in enriching society, supporting creative industries, and aligning with UNESCO’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Building on seminal exhibitions such as "Il Design Italiano Degli Anni ’50" (Milan, 1981), "Anni Cinquanta" (Milan, 2005), and "Il Modo Italiano" (Montreal-Toronto-Rovereto, 2006-2007), the book underscores the pivotal role of 1950s design in shaping Italy’s postwar renewal. It testifies to the emergence of a vibrant creative world rooted in cultural heritage and sustained by networks of artisans, manufacturers, artists, designers, and architects – each contributing to an interconnected and territorially grounded design culture. Organized into three thematic sections, it explores the uniqueness of Italian design (Section 1: On the Uniqueness of Italian Design), archival practices (Section 2: Archives for Memory and the Future), and exhibition strategies (Section 3: Made in Italy on Display Inside and Outside Museums). The book advocates for innovative strategies in data and memory sharing to enhance the understanding and appreciation of Italy’s cultural assets, ensuring their continued relevance while maintaining their connection to local identities and production practices. Drawing on case studies, experts from diverse fields – including architecture, museums, decorative arts, craft, product and interior design – examine Italian craftsmanship’s heritage and its connections to local communities. Their essays illustrate how interdisciplinary enquiries converge into a unified narrative, benefiting from modern approaches to preservation, communication, exhibition, and promotion across physical, digit
