Architectures and interiors conceived as total projects in which each element acquires value by dialoguing with the other. From furnishings to artwork, from layout to decoration, everything contributes to define a unified whole. Just like in the composition of a painting; objects, partitions, surfaces and materials generate a domestic landscape with a unique character. In this issue, the focus is on renovations that rescue the existing by updating it: by absorbing the distinctive architectural features designed by a great master, or by reinterpreting the industrial personality of an abandoned building and to give it new life. All this takes place without any nostalgia for the past, but great respect for the innovative value of the project. A theme that is tackled on a large and small scale. Not only in the case of designer collectibles, but also through the phenomenon of re-editions, investigated in several of the magazine’s reports. The common thread is always the quality of the design. A quality reaching beyond the ages, endorsed by the interest of the public, seduced by the charm of a 1950s armchair now reintroduced as a special edition; who appreciates the disruptive nature of a piece of furniture first produced in the 1960s while thinking about the future. Or who chooses an iconic 1970s sofa revisited with new fabrics and sustainable materials, still very current.
