After meeting Carlo Scarpa in 1973, who encouraged him in his work, he decided to focus his attention on the area of industrial design and began to work for some of the most important companies in the world. Constantly in search of original ideas, over the years he has tirelessly been engaged in analysing and experimenting with both forms and material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1985 he opened a laboratory-studio-jeweller's, where, together with a group of world-class architects, he designs and produces silver jewellery and other objects for avant-garde collections. These truly represent historical revolutions in jewellery both in Italy and abroad, and have also led to the production of watches, pens, and furniture. Cleto Munari's objects have entered the permanent collections of some of the world's top museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first to exclusively present Cleto Munari's latest creations in the field of the applied arts. After his jewellery, silverware, watches, and furnishings, the great designer has involved ten other designers and artists in the creation of a unique collection of art carpets. Signed by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Dario Fo, Mario Botta, Alessandro Mendini, Javier Mariscal, Ettore Mochetti, Deisa Centazzo, Sandro Chia, Mimmo Paladino, and by Cleto Munari himself, these creations are full-fledged works of art and represent the high point of the skills and expertise of one of the greatest creative designers in the world, who has been designing and producing for over forty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47423812337900,"sku":"9788857217529","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/717OPetZQ9L._SL1500.jpg?v=1774430880","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/art-carpets-9788857217529","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
