Note from the editor :

A book to rediscover one of the greatest XXth century designers, seen through his projects and drawings revealing his wonderful inventiveness and his practical mind at the same time. During his « non-specialization » years, Albe Steiner worked for Triennale, publishers, pharmaceutical industries, political parties, shops and supermarkets as well, putting in every project his professional philosophy that becomes a must: before giving everything its own structure, the designer has to understand its deep meaning. The book is enriched by the daughter’s notices and Lica Steiner’s annotations, able to transmit to the reader Steiner’s passion for his work to the reader.
