An ongoing archive of Italian design:
objects, books, and the spaces they inhabit.
All objects and documentation archived on this platform are meticulously researched and verified through primary and secondary sources, including vintage manufacturer catalogs, monographs, design history publications, and period magazines.
This is a working archive: objects, books, magazines, and photographs gathered around Italy's postwar design era, roughly the 1960s to 1980s.
It was a time when design turned radical, questioning form and function to imagine what everyday life could become. Organized by designer, manufacturer, category, material, and period, each piece is a conversation between past and present.
The name, "not only pizza," playfully honors Italy's other legacy:
the design, architecture, and objects that shaped everyday life, always with beauty and pleasure.
This is an ongoing study, and there's always more to explore...
