* PARADIGMA OLIVETTI
On 1960, February 27, Adriano Olivetti died. Founded by his father Camillo in 1908, the homonymous company, unexpectedly ended the second cycle of its life. Under the leadership of Adriano, this was characterized by the construction of a unique industrial and social project of brave expansion, which led to establish the industry itself as a world leader in the office machinery business. With the disappearance of its businessman guide, a period of great uncertainty opens up: the company, financially fragile, undergoes a forced change of ownership and strategy.
Through the voices of designers, historians and managers, and thanks to extraordinary archive materials, the movie traces the paths of Olivetti’s industrial design from Adriano’s death to the 90s, by going through the challenges of an era marked by rapid innovations: the transition from mechanical technology to electronics, up to its success in the competitive IT sector.
