What was the design style of "Italian culture" in 1950s?

The unique post-war Italian design features were reflected in 195 1 and 1954' s Milan Triennial of Design. The exhibition in 195 1 used various suspended sculptures to decorate the exhibition site, which produced dramatic effects. The exhibition 1954 shows more clearly that Italian product design should not take the simple and practical functionalism road, but should combine design with art, function with decoration. The name of this exhibition is "The Production of Art". This practical and beautiful design, which combines the traditional Italian design and modernist style, was well reflected in the chair design of 1957 Gio Ponty. The chair is made of birch and rattan, which can be said to be "the modern style of Italian traditional design" Traditional handicrafts glowed with new brilliance in postwar Italy, and the glassware in Venice showed the characteristics of the times through the efforts of Paolo Vinini, a designer from Milan. The vessels are brightly colored, the patterns are abstract, and the shapes are asymmetrical, which expresses the connection with modern art. The modern design of this traditional handicraft made the Italian design in the 1950s gain a great international reputation. After the war, a large number of world-famous designers appeared in Italy, such as architects, automobile designers, furniture designers, fashion designers and jewelry designers. Their works have a strong brand effect and formed a unique design style. Italian designers have given full play to their design talents in interior decoration, furniture, ceramics, glass, metal utensils, etc. Excellent design products have become an important reason for the massive export of Italian goods after the war, which has further developed Italian decorative arts. Italian design in 1950s laid a solid foundation for the formation of a design style called "Italian culture".
