Farewell to two Masters
At the end of September the world of Design said farewell to two Masters Designers. Vico Magistretti (6/10/1920 - 19/9/2006) and Alan Fletcher (1931-21/9/2006).

The sad news actually influnce me a lot. And specially for Alan Fletcher. His last exhibition alive was held by the Thessaloniki Design Museum in May 2006, where I generously contibuted on research and administration of the exhibition catalogue.
Both of them they will leave behind a big cap in the design thought. Through their work and life proved that Design is nothing more than an extreme curiosity for the world. A way of thinking that nowadays is almost forgotten and replaced it by words and meanings like market and management.
To connect the death with my research, seems that both of them belonged to this charismatic generation of the generalist Designers as Sottsass, Mari and Castiglioni(same generation with Castiglioni).
I hope that this research will finish without any other sad news from the Masters.
