I'm No Lady: When Objects Have Women's Names - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Many Italian design objects carry a women's name. The Ancient Romans upheld "nomen omen" (a name is a sign), and we still believe that a name gives identity and character to the person or object that carries it. This text takes a look at how names interfere with the nature of named objects; in the conceptual and designing stages as well as the way the object is perceived and received. Names are part of the design, they foreshadow the object and often, hidden behind the name, are stories that are worthy of exploration. This illustrated book also acts as a design reference guide.
