Gariboldi: The Decorative Arts in Italy: The Rediscovery of a Master Poised Between Gio Ponti, Triennals, the Richard-Ginori Company and Ceramics Collections

The long career of decorative arts designer Giovanni Gariboldi (1908-1971) forms a key chapter in twentieth-century Italian industrial design. This monograph provides the first full account of Gariboldi’s life, from his early days under art director Gio Ponti up to his own stint as art director. Containing a generous number of designs, preparatory drawings, letters and photographs (many never before published), the book itself is a carefully crafted object, designed by Italo Lupi.
