Reseña del editor:
Many Italian design objects carry a women's name. The Ancient Romans upheld "nomen omen" (a name is a sign), and we still believe that a name gives identity and character to the person or object that carries it. This text takes a look at how names interfere with the nature of named objects; in the conceptual and designing stages as well as the way the object is perceived and received. Names are part of the design, they foreshadow the object and often, hidden behind the name, are stories that are worthy of exploration. This illustrated book also acts as a design reference guide.

Descripción Softcover. Condición: New. Meet Donna, Miss Sissi, Mami, Genni, Luisa, Fiorenza, Auretta, Mirella, Graziella, Charlotta, Celestina, Lucretia and Anna G. They are a lamp, pots and pans, a chaise longue, a hair dryer, a sewing machine, a bicycle, a corkscrew and many, many chairs. I'm No Lady looks at the many Italian design objects that carry a woman's name, that are given identity and character by nomenclature borrowed from common, mythological, and iconic female figures. Names are not simply random labels: they are a part of the design, they foreshadow the object, they interfere with the nature of the object itself. And often, hidden behind the choice of a name, are stories and theories worthy of exploration, investigation and verification. Nº de ref. del artículo: DADAX8881583852
