Materials

'Every object made by man is the embodiment of what is at once thinkable and possible. Something that someone was able to both think of and physically create. Every object made by man is situated at an intersection of lines of development of thought (models, cultural structures, forms of knowledge) with lines of technological development (availability of materials, transformation techniques, forecasting and control systems).' Ezio Manzini, Professor of Industrial Design, Milan Polytechnic, in The Material of Invention (1986)
