Bookshop Sailing ship
La Bookshop Sailing ship designed by Franco Albini in 1940 initially for private use and subsequently produced by Cassina since 2011, is a timeless icon of Italian design. With its sinuous shape, this extraordinary creation represents a perfect combination of aesthetics and functionality. The Bookshop Sailing ship stands out for its light and elegant structure, characterised by slender wooden uprights that intertwine in a harmonious interplay.
Its structure is reminiscent of the stays of a sailing boat. Rigorous in its form, the books seem to float in space. Albini manages to combine rationality with fantasy, creating a world that is both poetic and function
Blow armchair
Blow, of 1967, is a design by Jonathan De Pas, Donato D'Urbino, Paolo Lomazzi and Carla Scolari for Zanotta, made of PVC.The Blow armchair became an icon of Italian and international design, along with other products of the 1960s, anticipating trends and lifestyles. This period saw the development of a 'contestation' design: society was criticised by providing objects whose main theme was transportability, moving away from the traditional concept of the armchair. Recognisable by its soft, transparent forms, Blow is innovative in its use of materials and technology in the furniture sector. Despite being out of production, it is still considered an iconic Pop design object, a symbol of the 1960s.
