Pleasing Plobjects At Plart

Naples, Italy seems like a good place for a museum devoted to all things plastic. The country has a history of creating bright, colorful, crazy objects, a perfect style for plastic materials.

Plart is a multi-functional place, a bit museum, a bit obsessive collection, some foundation, developmental work. A visit reveals a nice peek into all things plastic, old and new.

How about a vintage kitchen, filled with all of those space age objects that jolted the drudgery of food preparation into the jet age?

One room contains a sort of wavy, trippy trail of smaller object developments. Some of those early items, baby dolls, candle sticks. Something for kid and mom.

Plastics, they're hip, baby. A music theme installation. All accordion, record player, shellac discs, microphones and radios.

Local creativity. An up-cycle parade figure for the San Gennaro festival.

On to the swanky office, filled with lamps, file cabinets, ashtray, and iconic Olivetti typewriter.
