Design and Industry in Piedmont

Industrial culture and design are woven in the Piedmont area defining an identity often peculiar to the local product. The book retraces familiar and unfamiliar objects stories and entrepreneurial adventures, mirror of a territory in which the creative design stimulus appears at the same time as planning and production milieu with a strong industrial vocation and opportunity for experimentation. A phenomenon that has affected the region in a nonlinear way, expression of large industrial groups and small clans of experimenters, with strong spatial concentrations like the districts, but also figures and isolated farms.
