A table made of four wooden legs and a tablecloth. Italy is famous for its design, especially in the furniture sector, both in terms of modern style and antiques and artisanal manufacturing. The economic crisis that has hit Europe has also sunk Italian design, which sinks like the tablecloth in the work "Italian Design". The tablecloth that tries to hide the incompleteness of the table highlights its lack, but, at the same time, the absence of the table makes the table more beautiful, transforming a design object into a work of art. This work summarizes the peculiarity of Italian ingenuity, capable of expressing itself at its best the fewer resources it has available.
