These phases are related through various illustrations, best called \"dioramas,\" covering double spreads that fold out, making four full-size pages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEspecially created for the book by Pierluigi Longo, these \"dioramas\" emerge like modern-day frescoes in which the leading figures of the business world can be observed, along with the production panorama and market environment around them. They represent a sort of visualized concept that not only illustrates and tracks a path through the book, but also lends it concept and structure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe texts that follow each theme-diorama pivot successively on the company philosophy, the protagonists, the products, and a brief text classifying the furniture-manufacturing sector itself. Hence, the tale unfolds on two fronts simultaneously, interweaving the company's history with the ongoing developments in the sector and in methods of production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Piazza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8891822787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788891822789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli International Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.30h x 8.70w x 0.90d","brand":"Mario Piazza","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965360161023,"sku":"9788891822789","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb67ef10-59c2-42e9-bdf2-9cea4d42af0c.jpg?v=1767280052","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-italian-smart-office-mario-piazza-9788891822789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
