Superstudio in Florence

Zanotta's page describes Superstudio as a group of young students who wished to change the world from Florence. It traces their path from the 'constant monument' idea through the 'histogram of architecture' to the 'Super-idea', which eventually generated the Quaderna collection.

The squared laminate

The page says the squared white laminate was created on purpose by Abet Print, designed by Superstudio and called Misura, and describes the strict, simple volumes it covers as an 'artificial landscape' that can be extended as you wish.
