La poltrona di Proust. Evoluzione ed epistemologia di una relazione di prossimità tra design e artigianato.

Abstract

The proximity between craft and design has been identified as one of the many reasons for the success of what has been the Made in Italy phenomenon, and now the contemporary design scenario shows a strong tendency to contamination of skills from one discipline to the other. This paper offers a critical analysis of the evolution of this relationship to identify new cognitive tools to interpret and categorise the instances of hybrid design in the era of design when everybody designs.
