domus 19281939 — Charlotte Peter Fiell Fiell

Offering an unrivaled record of architecture and design the living diary of domus was founded by Gio Ponti in 1928 Through the years and decades that followed the journal charted the major themes and movements of industrial interior product and structural design with an eye for creative excellence as much as editorial rigor This fresh reprint features domus coverage from the transformative years between 1928 and 1939 It is an era famed for the emergence of the International Style when the likes of Le Corbusier Mies van der Rohe Marcel Breuer Alvar Aalto and Richard Neutra channeled modernist ideals into rectilinear forms restrained surfaces and open luminous interiors The domus coverage of this decisive decade spanned the details and the grand designs From soaring steel skyscrapers to tubular furniture its coverage is a definitive record of how light form and pared down aesthetics combined in the pursuit of an honest and utilitarian form for the modern and rapidly industrializing age Tanıtım Bülteninden
