The work

The book, useful tool for reading and consultation, is both a book-object of great attraction. The wealth of illustrative apparatus - with color pictures in large format and fine-tuned grafic design - makes a product with a precise characterization and high aesthetic quality, like handcrafted objects which documents. The original cover shaped in the form of house, the unusual thickness (made possible by the use of a light and voluminous paper) give it the appearance of a geometric solid, a miniature construction. The book includes biographies of craftsmen and designers involved in the project, photographs of artifacts made, drawings and project studies, critical-historical texts written by leading experts in design and craftsmanship, like Enzo Mari, Giuliana Altea and Francesca Picchi.
