Industry Reviews

"Without curiosity you cannot create things."-Mario Bellini

"Designing something new has always been a moving experience for me, a rare privilege to be valued." -Mario Bellini

"One of the last great protagonists of Italian design."-The New York Times

"Bellini proved himself a prolific product designer working for Yamaha, Renault, Fiat..."-swide.com

"It's surprising that this is the first comprehensive monograph on Bellini-his award-winning electronic devices for Olivetti have had a far-reaching influence... Having served as the editor of Domus between 1985 and 1991, he offers an especially interesting historical perspective in an interview in this volume." -Metropolis

"A triumph... Insightful, poignant and unabashedly honest"-Identity

"Mario Bellini is one of those rare designers whose work can truly be said to span generations... [A] parade of candy-coloured forms and elaborate era-defining shapes."-Wallpaper

"This tome establishes Bellini as one of our era's most essential furniture designers."-1stdibs Introspective Magazine

"[E]ngrossing... A significant contribution to design history."-Core77
