GLI STUDI NELLA CASA
Quaderni di Domus 2
Vittorio Gandolfi
Vittorio Gandolfi: GLI STUDI NELLA CASA [Studies in the Home]. Milano: Domus, 1945 (No. 2 of series Quaderni di Domus). First edition. Text in Italian. A near-fine softcover book in plain board wrappers with spine label in a near-fine photographically-printed dust jacket: DJs top and bottom edges are reinforced with a neat, narrow tape strip (possibly by publisher?) that has kept the jacket from the inevitable chipping and wear endemic to this series. Prelims lightly spotted with former owners bookplate inside fron cover. Way out-of-print and never reissued in any format. A significant tiles documenting the mid-century design movement -- an exceptional copy of a rare title sought by multiple constituencies.7.75 x 9.25 softcover book with 96 pages profusely illustrated with b/w examples of modern desks, chairs, lamps and casegoods for the emerging home-office genre. Work was moving into the home after World War II, and Quaderni di Domus 2 was right there to document the paradigm shift. Each illustrated example is identified by designer, making this edition an exceptionally valuable reference resource.
Under the editorial direction of Lina Bo and Carlo Pagani, the Quaderni di Domus series sought to highlight the best and brightest designers and products emerging from the carnage of Post-war Europe. Each volume dealt with a specific area of interest (Kitchens, Fireplaces, etc.) with an introductory essay followed by a lengthy selection of photographs and images, many culled from Gio Pontišs Domus magazine. Ponti can be felt lurking behind the scenes of nearly every page of the Quaderni di Domus series through the impeccable selection of included materials to the contemporary layouts of each volume.
