«Aluminum by Design» is the exhibition catalogue on design and architecture in aluminium by Sarah Nichols, Paola Antonelli, Robert Friedel, Penny Sparke, Dennis Doordan and Craig Vogel, published by Harry N. Abrams in hardback (300 pages, in English).
The book accompanies a travelling exhibition bringing together works by visionary designers and architects, from furniture and jewellery to complete buildings. Its essays show how the qualities of aluminium —brightness, strength, lightness and ease of recycling— have made it an omnipresent material in daily life and an irresistible attraction for artists and creators of the twentieth century.
Catalogue published on the occasion of the exhibition «Aluminum by Design: Jewelry to Jets», organised by the Carnegie Museum of Art and shown at several venues between 2000 and 2003.
Recommended for those interested in design history, modern architecture, decorative arts and twentieth-century material culture.
