Autarky, austerity, autonomy\u003c\/em\u003e, the catalogue that accompanies the VII edition of the \u003cstrong\u003eTriennale Design Museum\u003c\/strong\u003e, seeks to explore the creative potential induced by the crisis, ultimately responding to a fundamental question: “what did Italian design do when it found itself operated in a society with ‘its back against the wall’”?\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume, edited by \u003cstrong\u003eBeppe Finessi\u003c\/strong\u003e, and designed by \u003cstrong\u003eItalo Lupi\u003c\/strong\u003e, focuses its attention on the \u003cstrong\u003etheme of self-sufficient production\u003c\/strong\u003e, as declined and approached in \u003cstrong\u003ethree different, but crucial, time periods\u003c\/strong\u003e: the 1930s (From autarky to autonomy), the 1970s (From austerity to participation) and the Noughties (From self-production to self-sufficiency). The journey, therefore, sets off from the origins of Italian design, where as a result of international sanctions imposed by the United Nations in 1935, Italian design had to make virtue out of necessity and \u003cstrong\u003erediscover materials and techniques from the Italian tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e, or even invent new creative materials. The second section is devoted to the period coinciding with the 70s oil crisis, where great Italian designers created exemplary works, daringly overcoming a shortage of resources with \u003cstrong\u003eexperimentation in new languages\u003c\/strong\u003e. The journey ends with the present day, in the context of a crisis of a production model that has been uncritically followed in previous decades, provoking the rediscovery of \u003cstrong\u003eself-production\u003c\/strong\u003e as well as local specialities and that unique peculiarity, on the international stage, of the Italian industrial districts.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eComplete with an extensive visual collection of over 800 pictures, \u003cem\u003eItalian design beyond the crisis.
