Paolo Buffa Designer 30 opere dal 1939 al 1968 (Book)
About the Item
A Master of Design
For almost half a century, the architect Paolo Buffa has occupied the furniture design scene with a well-recognizable style: a limpid art, skilful and exquisite in detail, proportions and the whole, always coherent and harmonious.
The strength of the designer Buffa was to believe in the extraordinary vitality of a market that is always sensitive to the values of art productions, such as to last over time. What is striking in his works is the happy naturalness of a design that, despite its apparent simplicity, stands out for its rich and refined articulation. The fundamental character of his pieces lies in a straightforward formal freshness, also due to the perfect fusion between design and execution.
Paolo Buffa was a polite but authoritative designer. Its production is based on a functional, complete and easy-to-read design for every category of user, executor, merchant and final purchaser. A design that did not require translations or interpretations of any kind to be deciphered; However, it is rigorously aimed at high-end cabinet-making products, decorations and surfaces that require marked mechanical precision and a high level of respect for the organic characteristics of the materials.
From the 1930s to the 1960s, Buffa was faithful to his natural predisposition for the neoclassical world, a heritage that has been analysed and reworked by virtue of a skilful balance between form and function. It has not sacrificed to ephemeral fashions but has followed a coherent evolution, particularly noticeable in the production of the 60s, supported by a refined aesthetic vision in which severe elegance is combined with a subtle technological rigour.

Auto Plastic: Wendell Castle 1968-1973 by Donald Albrecht (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
AutoPlastic: Wendell Castle (1968-1973) accompanied R & Company’s exhibition of the same name, curated by Donald Albrecht and on view at the gallery’s 82 Franklin location from April 20 to June 15, 2004.
AutoPlastic situates Wendell Castle’s plastic furniture in the context of late 1960s and early 1970s design innovations and examines, through a selection of photographs, magazine clippings, and ephemera, the relationship between the objects and their era’s social and cultural concerns. With natural, primitive, archaic, and womb-like forms, Castle’s plastic objects recall a time when novelty and fantasy were a means of individual expression (“doing your own thing”). They also highlight how environmentalism (“going back to the earth”) and escapism (“getting away from it all”) were intense reactions to the upheaval of America’s shifting values, student protests...
