The book

Luca Meda was a leading name in industrial design and Italian architecture between the 1960s and 1990s. By mixing vibrant objects with melancholy architecture, domestic landscapes with urban interiors, he was able to leap over the barriers between art, industrial design and architecture. A wise designer and an inventor-artist, he managed to prolifically intertwine the world of industrial production with the world of figurative art. His designs sublimely illustrate the close bond that the corporate culture has formed with the inventive force of its craftsmen, its architects, its artists.
This volume is the first monographic publication dedicated to him. It offers, for the first time, in fact, a critical analysis that delves into all the various aspects of his work, an accurate biography and a complete annotated catalogue of his works.
