De Pas, D' Urbino and Lomazzi formed Studio DDL in Milan in 1966 which eventually focused on architectural projects and smaller scale domestic objects. During the 1960s they focused especially on temporary furniture and buildings featuring avant-garde signs, materials and industrial technologies. The Brick shelving unit was exhibited at MoMA’s epochal 1972 exhibition "Italy: The New Domestic Landscape".
