New: Design from the Alps 1920–2020

Design from the Alps, published to coincide with an exhibition at museum Kunst Meran in autumn 2019, tells the story of a century of product design from Tyrol—South Tyrol—Trentino, highlighting the vast variety of discoveries and innovations that have emerged there. Featured artists include, among others, Fortunato Depero (1892–1960), whose experiments were inspired by the Secondo Futurismo, Gino Pollini (1903–91), a pioneer of the interwar period, as well as the celebrated architects and designers Lois Welzenbacher (1889–1955), Clemens Holzmeister (1886–1983), and Ettore Sottsas (1917–2007). Lavishly illustrated, the book follows the many protagonists of this at the same time heterogenous and collectively strong scene and offers an insightful tour d’horizon of the manifaceted design culture of western Austria and northern Italy.
