Speaking of revival does not mean that we are throwing in the towel, insinuating that everything has already been designed, that the design scene is hosting languishing stars, and that the era of design masters is irreversibly finished, forcing us to only look back. On the contrary. Here we define revival as something constructive, which looks back through design history, even ancient history, in order to inspire and nurture the significance new contemporary projects. It means we should sift through past repertoires in order to revitalize the present, fattening its roots to make it more narrative. Revival not only looks at forms, but materials. The design timeline is marked by the discovery and prevalent use of certain materials. Brass was cast into the “classic category” while colder metals such as steel were preferred in modern design. It was revived once again in 2016 thanks to Ghidini 1961, a brand skilfully guided by the artistic direction of Stefano Giovannoni. Brass has made a triumphal march back into modern design pieces, giving Ghidini 1961’s pieces luxurious warmth.
