“The new technologies and their formal expressions have found a nearly perfect balance, generating proportionate dimensions and functions. The extreme sophistication combines successfully with the ease of use. The relevance and value of technology are seen and felt without impositions, clearly suggesting the wide range of possible use.

|
|
| forgotten by the designers, a product is born with an original shape, size and colours and with morphologic |
