1965-1969: A Break from the Past, a Nod to the Future. The late 1960s, when a radical change took place in the fields of architecture and design, are the focus of this volume. Old values such as functionality, elegance, and faithfulness to materials, which had been relevant for nearly half a century, lost their importance and made space for the ideas of pop culture and the sociocritical experiments of a new generation of architects and designers who no longer wanted to live within the styles of their fathers and grandfathers. Groups of architects and designers like Archizoom and Archigram questioned long-established status symbols, fashion, and consumption and created provocative alternative designs, which were reflected in Anti and Radical Design. Volume VI in the domus series features designs by Joe Colombo, Ettore Sottsass, Gae Aulenti, Olivier Mourgue, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Verner Panton, Kenzo Tange, Luigi Moretti, Oscar Niemeyer, and Gio Ponti, among many.
1960-1954: Design Goes Pop. This volume concentrates on the architecture and design of the first half of the 1960s, characterized by the coexistence of a number of different styles. The aftermath of the International style and Good Design were still noticeable whereas Organic Design, which had developed in parallel since the late 1940s, gradually lost its influence. From the early 1960s onwards, a new force took its place, geared toward Pop Art and popular culture, leading to Pop Design. This trend is particularly recognizable in interior design, where a variety of new synthetics and foam plastics replaced traditional materials such as metal, glass or wood, pointing the way to completely new designs. Volume V documents this with examples of designs by Ray and Charles Eames, Verner Panton, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, and Joe Colombo. On the architectural side, the impressive buildings of Gio Ponti, Carlo Scarpa, Angelo Mangiarotti, James Stirling, and Eero Saarinen.
William Morris (1834–1896) war ein herausragender kreativer Geist des 19. Jahrhunderts und ein Pionier der Arts-and-Craft-Bewegung. Als Designer, Handwerker, Schriftsteller, Künstler und Sozialreformer kritisierte er das Industriezeitalter mit seinen massenproduzierten, lieblosen Produkten, die er als moralisches und ästhetisches Problem betrachtete. Morris glaubte, dass es ein Grundbedürfnis sei, von schönen Dingen umgeben zu sein, und träumte von einer Gesellschaft, in der Kunst und Bildung für alle zugänglich sind und Gleichheit in der kreativen Arbeit herrscht. Er war stark vom Mittelalter und den Präraffaeliten beeinflusst und verband Handwerkskunst mit traditionellen Motiven für die Gegenwart. Obwohl seine Arbeiten vor allem von der Aristokratie und dem gehobenen Bürgertum geschätzt wurden, mindert dies nicht seinen visionären Einfluss. Heute sind seine Ideen in Architektur, Textilkunst und Raumgestaltung präsent. Seine Tapetenentwürfe werden weiterhin produziert, und seine floralen Muster finden sich in aktuellen Modekollektionen sowie in Alltagsgegenständen. Dieses reich bebilderte Buch beleuchtet sein facettenreiches Leben und sein grenzenloses kreatives Schaffen, das von Architektur über Möbeldesign bis hin zur Kalligraphie reicht.

Der schottische Architekt, Designer, Grafiker und Maler Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868–1928) war ein Pionier der modernen Architektur und des Designs. Sein Gestaltungswille umfasste alles von Gebäuden über Möbel bis hin zu Bettwäsche und Tischbesteck, alles sollte einem einheitlichen, neuen Look dienen. Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Margaret MacDonald, die ebenfalls Designerin war, bildete er eine Hälfte des Glasgower Kollektivs „The Four“, das Designgeschichte schrieb. Die andere Hälfte bestand aus Margarets Schwester Frances und ihrem Ehemann James Herbert MacNair. Mackintosh liebte kraftvolle Linien, elegante Proportionen und Naturmotive, kombiniert mit einem modernen Sinn für Funktion und einem Hauch Japonismus. Zu seinen bedeutendsten Projekten zählen die Willow Tea Rooms, die er bis zur Speisekarte gestaltete, sowie die Privatwohnhäuser Windyhill und Hill House. Sein bekanntestes Werk, das Mackintosh-Gebäude der Glasgow School of Art, markiert den Übergang von viktorianischer Bauweise zur Moderne. Der Glasgow Style fand auf dem Kontinent großen Anklang, insbesondere in Italien, Deutschland und Österreich, wo Künstler der Wiener Secession und des Jugendstils von seinen lyrischen Formen inspiriert wurden. Dieser Band würdigt Mackintosh als lange verkannten Künstler, der mit seinem Glasgow Style einen entscheidenden Beitrag zum Jugendstil und zum modernen Design leistete.
