Known as Radical design  this movement probed possibilities for visually transforming the urban environment. Radical designs proponents also applied it to items such as furniture and lighting  utilizing alternative materials and an innovative formal vocabulary. Radical: Italian Design 19651985 surveys the work of these pioneering designers through nearly 70 objects and architectural modelsincluding rare prototypes and limited-production pieces. Cindi Strauss insightfully explores the aesthetic inspiration and changing cultural mores that informed the movement  and her research is complemented by an essay from Germano Celant  the acclaimed author and curator who coined the term Radical design. Importantly  the book includes seven interviews with Radical designers and architects  offering fresh insights into the individuals who were at the vanguard of this groundbreaking movement.
