The Pininfarina Book
By Günther Raupp
For the past 85 years, the name “Pininfarina” has stood for first-class Italian design and is synonymous with unmistakable style. In the early decades, this was true, especially for cars, but more recently it also applies to architecture, industrial design, mobility and sustainability. For Pininfarina “design of the highest quality” has always meant technological expertise, functionality, innovation and, not least, Italian elegance. To celebrate the history and influence of Pininfarina visually, photographer Günther Raupp has trained his lens on not only some of Pininfarina’s greatest automotive designs—such as the Cisitalia 202 and wide range of Ferraris from the 250 GT to today’s Sergio—but also a broad cross-section of architectural, naval, aeronautical and even luxury good design. At 304 pages, with 250 color images, in a large format design, this book will be welcome addition to any fan of Italian design and style.
