Stile Italiano

N.41 of September 15th, 2016

Editorial by

When we think of Italian design, we cannot help but immediately go to the masters, those who created iconic pieces, and the longstanding companies who produced them, creating a virtuous relationship that has become the model of Italian style. I would like to address the latest Italian design, going beyond brands to highlight aesthetic characteristics, daring to establish a stylistic definition instead of a disciplinary one. Even in times of globalization, I am convinced that the genius loci leaves an unmistakable fingerprint, and the sum of expression is greatly influenced by a manufacturer’s brilliance. It is not so much a systematic analyzation as considerations governed by emotion. The selection is arbitrary and driven by personal tastes, without pragmatic assumptions, and should be considered an invitation to reflect on contemporary design’s new identity.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
