Frequent Art Questions
What's this?
This is called the "Hyaline" Adjustable Lounge Chair; it was designed by Fabio Lanci in the late 1960s. It's in the Postmodern style. Postmodernism was a reaction to it's predecessor, Modernism, which was considered too restrictive. Postmodernist groups in Italy focused on Anti-Design, which sought to undermine good taste and functionality by being ironic and provocative in their designs.Is #10 functional?
Certainly! This is another example of Postmodern design coming out of Italy.Thanks!
