Author: Daniela Facchinato
A “designer of function” rather than a stylist, Osti revolutionised menswear by introducing techniques such as garment dyeing and experimental materials. 'Obstinate' celebrates a unique working method – made of trials, errors, and futuristic insights – that still influences international design today and continues to live on through his immense archive and the passion of collectors around the world. The narrative intertwines personal relationships and design research, portraying a reserved man capable of great generosity and a deep sense of sharing. Daniela Facchinato completes his portrait by giving space to the passions that fuelled his imagination – from politics to the sea, from comics to art – which helped shape his creative and entrepreneurial vision.An intimate journey through the human and creative path of a man who managed to “assemble” the future. The words of Daniela Facchinato and the testimonies of friends and collaborators, retrace the life of Massimo Osti, showing how his work was the direct expression of his many passions and of a truly unrepeatable era. The book explores his Bolognese roots, in a city that “fit him like a glove” and that, between the 70s and 80s, was a true epicentre of creativity and activism.
