Description
The book provides a reflection on the conceptual framework of Milanese architect and industrial designer Vico Magistretti, his work and relevance to issues facing designers today.
Following and extending from the Vico Magistretti-Travelling Archive exhibition at the Melbourne Design Week 2019, the book Geometry, Simplicity, Play: Exhibiting Vico Magistretti relates this exhibition to Magistretti's design approach and theoretical thought through texts and illustrations. It discusses the exhibition installation and projects by Magistretti from both the industrial design and architecture fields.
The book focuses in particular on the sense of 'conceptual simplicity', playfulness, and geometry that inform Magistretti's work. It is also part of the extended discourse undertaken internationally in 2020, in observance of the centenary year of Magistretti's birth date (1920-2006).
