The volume traces the work of Italian designer Piero De Martini (Milan, 1939), a professional designer - as well as a musician and pianist for passion - who worked with discretion and elegance in the field of interior design for about thirty years (1970-2000). His long-term business relationship with Cassina has seen collaboration with famous brands of Italian furniture and lighting technology. In addition to drawing an exhaustive portrait of his work, the volume offers other interesting reflections on the broader field of design history. The work of De Martini in fact qualifies as the emblem of a relationship between designer and corporate production system, which has undergone profound changes in those thirty years. The world of Italian design so far known has changed dramatically in methods, goals and perspectives, paving the way for new productive scenarios, irreconcilable with a traditional vision of which De Martini was one of the last protagonists.
