About this deal

Some chapters were less interestinh than others, as it usually happens, but I found it a book full of curiosity, appreciation and enlightenment. One of the last surviving members of the futurist generation, Bruno Munari's Design as Art is an illustrated journey into the artistic possibilities of modern design translated by Patrick Creagh published as part of the 'Penguin on Design' series in Penguin Modern Classics. I will say its the bridge between science and everyday life and thats my own philosophy what design is, you may have your own Idea about it! None of these essays have principles that can be extracted and applied to other areas, they are basic musings that are as specialized as they are useless to inspiring design.

First edition in English of legendary designer Bruno Munari's manifesto on the importance of design, a Pelican Original.

Egzemplarz, który mi służył (i, miejmy nadzieję, będzie służyć jeszcze długo), to szósta już edycja książki, włączonej do serii Penguin Modern Classics. Grają trąby, drżą góry, artyści-projektanci, otoczeni świetlistym halo zniżają się do poziomu profanów, przekazując im swój święty ogień! To nije nikakav neposredni zaključak knjige, već moje dopisivanje, zasnovano na onome što o Italiji možemo misliti u odnosu na svet mode, dizajna, umetnosti. Autor zauważa, że naturalne materiały, które nie zostają w żaden sposób zabarwione, starzeją się lepiej, podczas gdy te, których kolor zmieniono, prędko brzydną.

the defamiliarisations of certain objects through unusual descrptions: Peas: 'These are foods products of varying diameters packed in bivalve cases of great elegance of form, color and material.munari diceva: «il sogno dell'artista è quello di arrivare al museo, il sogno del designer è quello di arrivare al mercato rionale». Podłoga, składająca się z mat tatami, nie pozwala na rzucanie na nią niedopałków papierosów, nie da się trzaskać drzwiami, uderzenie w ścianę pozostawi w niej dziurę, a każdy brud, czy błoto są od razu widoczne.

Trzecim artykułem, który chciałabym polecić waszej uwadze, jest Orange, Peas and Rose z rozdziału Industrial Design. Munari attempts to dismantle the myth of the artist as a genius and removes the idea that those labelled as purveyors of refined taste and culture should be restricted to academicians or the general social elite.This is an object without justification, and one moreover that may lead the worker to think futile thoughts.
