Anyone tuned into the nightly prime-time TV show Blob might easily conclude that despite Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's virtual stranglehold on television broadcasting, the media in Italy have a free run.

He, like many of his generation, has championed the could-only-be-designed-with-computers blob. But his is not just a blob for its own sake. His Oh Chair is reminiscent of a pelvic girdle. His New Move glassware for German manufacturer Leonardo looks like a forest floor, with mushroom bowls, fern candelabras and lily-shaped vases...
