Led by avant-garde design firms such as Archizoom, Superstudio, Global Tools and 9999, Radical Design was firmly opposed to the ethics, and indeed the very notion of, \"good design\" or taste. \u003ci\u003eToilet Paper\u003c\/i\u003e's bold, mischievous interpretation of Joannou's collection results in delightful, high-contrast photographs that merge the seductive lines of Radical Design furniture and objects with the curves of the modern-day nymphs cavorting among them. Published as a board book, and named after a year that was pivotal for architecture and design (and, of course, the world at large), \u003ci\u003e1968\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of dreams and nightmares, an inspiring, eye-popping compendium of colorful, ironic objects and bodies. At once charmingly retro and alarmingly surreal, \u003ci\u003e1968\u003c\/i\u003e includes drawings by one of the Radical Design movement's foremost architects, Alessandro Mendini.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maria Cristina Didero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 6185039044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786185039042\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 14.20h x 9.50w x 3.80d","brand":"Maria Cristina Didero","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045092978943,"sku":"9786185039042","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_140547e7-b643-4f84-8f46-5abbb3fec802.jpg?v=1684976692","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/1968-maria-cristina-didero-9786185039042","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
