Design Balneare (Seaside Design) is a research project that takes its cue from the homonymous inquiry by Ugo La Pietra in 1983. Design Balneare concerns “the set of structures, often ephemeral, that are composed of signboards, lettering, beach equipment, ranging from the life-vest to the cabine, from the trampoline to the dustbin, from the paddle boat to the showers, from the boat to the speedboat, from the bucket to the jukebox, from the playground to the mini-golf."
