About the Book
It is always a question of our relationship with nature, which can be one of presumed mastery, a cynical and detached dominion, or one of profound and total empathy. To decipher this sort of koan, we can start out from the designs of old Tibetan carpets with more or less symbolic colours and images representing tigers. And those tiger coats have become the patterns of tyre treads. The natural threat constituted by the most fearsome of animals has been replaced by the mark left by the car as it tramples the ground and leaves behind its tattoo of contemporaneity, but also of extreme violence. Like Chinese army vehicles in Tibet. The marks are there to be seen and they too are always changing, but the message of their existence is always the same: just as the forest was once the world of the tiger, the contemporary jungle is the territory of the machine.

Beppe Caturegli
Milano, Italia

Trained in the cultural milieu of Radical Architecture in Florence, Beppe Caturegli (1957) moved to Milan in 1982, beginning a collaboration with Ettore Sottsass, the Memphis group, and Terrazzo publication. In 1987, with Giovannella Formica (1957-2019), he founded Caturegli Formica Architetti Associati. His travel-inspired anthropological approach to design bridges industry/craft, global/local, and mass-produced/one-off dichotomies. This vision has resulted in a diverse portfolio, spanning architecture, unique carpets, interior design, paintings, industrial design and sculptures. His works are showcased globally at places like the Design Gallery, Nilufar Gallery, Assab One, Antonia Jannone Gallery, 44SPAZIO, 4IMBRIANI in Milano, FABBRICA nel BOSCO Monferrato, Citronne Gallery Athens, Artworx Athens, Céramiques Almadies Dakar and museums, like Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Centre Pompidou Paris, Mino Art Museum Japan, Metropolitan Museum of Art New York and and Triennale di Milano Italy.
