Here is a short glimpse into the feature dedicated to WFW in the new magazine Disegno: la nuova cultura industriale that has been released a few days ago in Milano, just in time for the Salone Internazionale del Mobile.
Initiated by STEFANO CASCIANI (critic, designer, writer and for many years editor of domus magazine), Disegno: la nuova cultura industriale is the first monographic review on paper, in Italian and English, entirely dedicated to the global scene of design and its interaction with contemporary industry. It aims to bring well written and beautifully presented editorials to a wider audience, not just to industry insiders, but also to those who have an interest in reading and examining the cultural aspects of mass production and of the technologies that define the new artificially built world from a new perspective.
And good news: Disegno: la nuova cultura industriale is now available via Books Import in Milano.
Oh, and by the way, I just filled the WFW Flickr with some Milano pictures!
I’m all for new magazines dedicated to the subject and world of design. However, it is very disappointing that Mr Casciani has decided to launch a magazine with the same name as our own, despite us making this clear to him. Disegno launched in 2011 and is the first biannual magazine dedicated to the culture of design, it is also a website and a salon and we have dedicated the last year and a half to making this a unique and high-quality product. It is therefore very sad that our hard work is ignored in this way, especially by someone like Mr Casciani who has worked in this industry for so long.
