Bruno Munari: Design as Art

$16.00 Member Price: $14.40

By Bruno Munari

An illustrated journey into the artistic possibilities of modern design, by the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most of the twentieth century.

Bruno Munari was among the most inspirational designers of all time, described by Picasso as “the new Leonardo.” Munari insisted that design be beautiful, functional and accessible, and this enlightening and highly entertaining book sets out his ideas about visual, graphic and industrial design and the role it plays in the objects we use every day. Lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children’s books, advertising, cars and chairs—these are just some of the subjects to which he turns his illuminating gaze.
