"Design—is edited by British designer Jasper Morrison and Marco Sammicheli, director of the Museo del Design Italiano in Triennale Milano. Editorial direction is by Daniela Hamaui, while art direction is by Alessandro Gori.
In this new issue of Promemoria Group’s magazine, the editors offer us a mapping of the design archives international landscape at this moment in time and an overview of the many typologies and influences in the design world, divided in three sections: “Organizations”, “Brands”, “Designers & Creatives”.
ARCHIVIO N°10 explores different forms of design, from architecture to ceramics, with a specific focus on product design, underlining its ability to be able to combine functionality, art, and the needs of its time, because an object is never just an object.
For the cover and in the first pages of the magazine, Jasper Morrison assembled an imaginary archive of everyday objects from different places, made at different times, related by character perhaps or a shared understanding of what it is to be an object.
The Design Issue also includes a special poster: an (in)complete mapping of the countless (and sometimes unexpected) design archives in Italy. A research by Promemoria Group visually processed by Milan-based data-viz company Accurat."
