Publisher's Synopsis
The term "transitive" is used to designate all those products that connect the past with the future in the name of continuity of change. At the end of the 20th century design saw an increasing emergence of styles that evoke the recent past whilst conjuring up visions of the imminent future. Clino Castelli introduces the reader to the world of transitive design and its internationally successful products, from Aprilia's scooter "Scarabeo" and the new Volkswagen "Beetle", to Macintosh's latest "iMac" personal computer.
