In short, the spirit of Power to the Imagination permeates all the pages of this issue. Not just a mere return to decorativism, but the assertion of sweeping expressive freedom that develops the legacy of the avant-gardes of the 1980s (Memphis, first of all), while outlining a pop vision of design and architecture as they adapt to the increasingly important influence of the social networks (especially Instagram). Hence the tribal language of Camille Walala taken to an urban scale, or the psychedelic works of Adam Nathaniel Furman; along with the poetic fantasies of light of Ingo Maurer, and the lesson of Alessandro Mendini, reinterpreted in exhibitions on their careers, respectively at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich and the Groninger Museum in Holland.
