About the Designer
Bruno Munari’s life (1907-1998) and career spanned the 20th century, and he was among the most seminal exponents of Italian design and graphic design. Yet he never received the accolades and recognition on an international scale that he so richly deserved. What sets Munari apart from other designers is that he engaged in a quiet, playful revolution, inventing and designing with humorous and modest creativity, challenging all conventions and stereotypes intelligently but without flamboyance.
Starting with the square, circle and triangle, in an age when sophisticated materials took center stage, Munari shows how simplicity of means may result in poetry. From lamps to "animated" children’s books, his attitude of whimsy and sheer inventive imagination proves capable of delighting the child in all of us. Danese Milano since 1957 has nurtured and produced some of the world's best mid-century designs though creative research and production techniques. Today, it has a dynamic and evolving collection and collaboration by some of the most talented contemporary and international designers.
