The hidden soul of a group of creative individuals which, since the beginning, has always expressed itself in images.

Ideas not Airships is a 500-page table book celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Hangar Design Group, one of the first independent and multidisciplinary creative design groups in Italy. The book is a narrative in pictures representing an attempt to discover an underlying theme in the intricate creative process of a group that is unique both for its degree of expertise and its creative practices.

Through works and experiences, the book illustrates the life of the studio, tracing a decidedly unconventional figurative path made up of suggestions, inspirations, memories, faces, and placesโ€”not only those of the Hangar Design Group itself but of anyone who undertakes to give form to an idea. The book illustrates the network's modus operandi, beginning from the birth of the first embryonic concepts and following through to the finished product.

Ideas not Airships is the enthusiastic narration of a gripping story, dedicated to all those who believe that with creativity we can (even) change the world.
