Description
One of the last surviving members of the futurist generation, Bruno Munari has been the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most of the twentieth century.
How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design, and the media have changed our vision forever.
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.
Design as Art explores how Munari applies his illuminating gaze to lamps, road signs, typography, posters, children's books, advertising, cars, and chairs, making a compelling case for the importance of thoughtful design in everyday life.
