The experience of Global Tools lasted two years, from '73 to '75, a school (not a school) founded by designers, planners and artists of various kinds - Sottass, Mendini, Franco Raggi, Dalisi, Branzi, De Lucchi, Ugo La Pietra (and many others) - who together play with the counterculture of design and define themselves as anti-institutional.
They find themselves drawing up a sort of manifesto program for a hypothetical movement that will never start, but which generates many seminars, free and fun, which today we look at with admiration, based on self-construction, on the relationship of 'object with the body and with nature in a sort of cross-disciplinary performance.
