Why a Film About Michele De Lucchi?

A student and associate of Ettore Sottsas, Michele De Lucchi (born in 1951) is the focus of this documentary - a forefather of postmodernism and one of the pillars of the Memphis group that influenced the aesthetics of the 1980s with colourful, fun furniture that changed interior design forever.

In 1973, he created the Cavart cabinet, a radical design that laid the foundations of postmodernism. He worked with Kartell and Olivetti from 1992 to 2002. He was also the designer of the Peace Bridge in Tbilisi and the iconic Tolomeo lamp in 1985, a worldwide bestseller. The film contains exclusive footage, including super-8 films of the 1970s with performances by the Cavart group and presents his architectural projects in Milan, Venice and Georgia.
