Notes from the supply side of Italian design

Most design content is written by people who have never shipped a chair across an ocean. This magazine is written by the people who quote, crate and deliver Italian furniture for a living. Buying for your office? You will find guides that make you a sharper buyer: ergonomics that matter, acoustics, materials, what specifications actually mean. Specifying for clients? Trends and standards read through the eyes of the people who then have to supply them. Plus the stories behind Italian design, and the fairs — from Salone to NeoCon — reported by someone who walks them to work, not to browse.
