Book "The hot house" by Andrea Branzi

The hot house by Andrea Branzi (1984) is part manifesto and part unconventional history, tracing the most progressive and experimental moments in applied arts and design. Spanning two centuries but with a strong focus on the 1950s onward, it examines the ideas, movements and architectural visions that challenged convention and reshaped modern thinking.
 
A compelling study of avant garde creativity, it remains an important and insightful volume for collectors, designers and anyone drawn to radical design culture.
