Abstract
The interior spaces we inhabit every day are defined by a system of cultural and symbolic references manifest in surfaces, objects, furniture, and art pieces that colonize and design our everyday spaces. For this research, the author aims to develop a theory concerning the shaping of interior space by the surface, informed by domestic interiors published in the magazine Domus during Gio Ponti’s second tenure as editor-in-chief (1948–1978). Domus helped to build a design culture in Italy and Europe by publishing domestic interiors understood as a field where the efforts of artists, architects, and designers coalesced, and the room became the place where disciplinary specificities dissolved.
