The first comprehensive review of the production and culture of modern design in a dynamic cross-border European region.

The Tyrol — South Tyrol — Trentino region has become a cultural crossroads between Munich and Venice on the one hand and Vienna and Milan on the other. Design from the Alps is the first comprehensive exploration of the production and development of modern design in this dynamic transnational Alpine region. An astonishing openness towards the most progressive trends of modernity, an unexpected laboratory for technical-formal explorations was created. The amply illustrated book traces the many protagonist on this highly productive scene and into the multifaceted world of design of this region in the heart of Europe.
