Design as Art by Bruni Munari
25,00
€
First published in Italian in 1966 and reissued in 2008, this book captures Bruno Munari’s reflections on the fading boundaries between art and design. Written as a series of observations and essays, it traces the disappearance of traditional categories—painting and sculpture—and the emergence of a new creative role: the designer.
Munari examines this transformation not as a loss but as a redefinition of artistic purpose. The artist becomes a designer, someone who shapes the everyday world with clarity, function, and imagination. He reminds us that anyone who uses a well-designed object can feel the quiet presence of an artist at work.
More than fifty years later, Design as Art remains a lucid meditation on creativity, utility, and beauty in the modern world.
Each book from our Library comes with a handmade cover made from Japanese Satogami paper, produced from virgin wood pulp. The title is hand-printed and finished with a brown rope bookmark.
Italy, 1966 (English translation 1971, 2008 reissue, softcover)
