| Summary: | "Gianfranco Frattini studied architecture at the Politecnico de Milano, mentored by Portaluppi and Ponti, who invited him to collaborate in his studio while he was still a student. A pragmatic industrial designer, Frattini embodied the typically Italian approach to design as a total project. This book recounts his professional and personal journey, following his evolution through the analysis of this works. They consistently reflect a sense of moderation and a deliberate distance from prevailing trends, which had only minimal influence on his design projects. Frattini's experimentation with materials and forms was so wide reaching that it could define the process of design in its most tangible meaning."-- Cover page 4. |
