In Italy, design was born after the
Second World War, thanks to economic boom, started in
the Fifties around Milan, where a myriad of small and
medium companies opened with the idea of competing with
the rest of the world, on the basis of production quality
and aesthetics.
In those years, interior decoration,
household items, fashion and automotive sectors
saw the birth of a new creativity, which matched the
intellectual unrest and the productive one.
The items realized in those years were
designed and produced to be part of the everyday life,
at home, at the bar, in the office, through an endless
tension between the evolution of a high quality
craftsmanship and an evolving automatic mass production.
S.T.A.M.P lived in the first person
that period, growing both as a laboratory for new ideas
(with the deposit of new patents and related products
which we realized directly) and with a cultural level
and entrepreneurial experience, which contibuted to
develop our professional skills.
With the strong belief that what we
were is an integral part of what we are
today, S.T.A.M.P. has set up, inside its headquarters, a
little exposition of plastic items, made with celluloid
or bakelite, which date back those years.
Herewith you'll find some of the items
which are part of our collection and, among them, there
are some which we produced directly.
Enjoy the little tour in our past!
