Lapo Binazzi is a designer and a founding member of the UFO collective, one of the “supergroups” of Italian architects and designers in the late 1960s who banded together to express their utopian and political manifestos through their provocative works. Encompassing interior and industrial design, fashion, film and performance art, Binazzi’s work exists in a space between conceptual and pop art. Binazzi defined this genre as “Discontinuity.”
Binazzi’s projects, which were celebrated on the covers of Domus magazine and exhibited as stage sets at numerous fairs as well as in restaurant and disco interiors, incorporated props such as giant hunks of foam cheddar cheese and magic toadstools, with inflatables, human performers and temporary design installations and interventions. His highly sought after lighting — such as the Dollaro, MGM and Paramount table lamps and the Pinocchio floor lamp — cleverly re-appropriated cultural iconography as a commentary on culture and commercialism.
