Signature Houses: Private Homes By Great Italian Designers

This book presents a stunning series of interiors by renowned Italian designers and architects from the second half of the twentieth century. Each of these spaces perfectly embodies the unique creative spirit of the designer, encapsulating both the essence of his personal style and his taste for the trends of the time.

The ten projects, all specially photographed for the book, include names from Italian architecture and design, including Carlo Mollino, Carlo Scarpa, Ettore Sottsass, Gae Aulenti, Osvaldo Borsani, Piero and Barnaba Fornasetti. Whether residential or office spaces, each of these unique places has remained largely unchanged and, decades later, they still speak for those who designed and lived in them: Casa Fornasetti is a unique testimony to the world of Piero Fornasetti, and now to that of his son, Barnaba, who is continuing his work and his brand; Casa Mollino represents the culmination of the ideas of architect Carlo Mollino; and Casa Quarestani, perfectly encapsulates the poetic vision of Ettore Sottsass.
