In the 1960s, Italian design reached a phase of expansion and innovation. In this context, iconic objects such as the Kartell bookcase by Joe Colombo, designed in 1964 for Kartell, and the Acrilica lamp by Gianni Colombo and Gianfranco Frattini, created in 1962 for Oluce, were introduced. These pieces marked a turning point in Italian design, combining material innovation and aesthetic functionality in an era of great industrial change.
