More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This superbly presented volume is a treasure trove of the thoughts of internationally acclaimed designers Lella and Massimo Vignelli. For the past ten years, Massimo Vignelli has taught a summer course at the School of Design and Architecture at Harvard on subjects that were initially alphabetised for convenience, but now form the basis of this unprecedented and highly entertaining publication. Beginning with the intriguing 'A for Ambiguity', it continues through the alphabet, describing their approach to subjects as diverse as book design, discipline, furniture, garment design, interior design and lighting, newspapers, packaging and typography; each subject is discussed in detail and accompanied by numerous illustrations that complement the text. It offers a rare insight into the minds of two exceptional modernist designers.

Vignelli is a great visual philosopher, he talks and each word has its meaning. Nor like other designers that talks and talks and actualy said anything. Vignelli speak essential thing. His books and lectures are must for any designer!!

It is always refreshing to see good design, designs which
hold up regardless of the changes and fads so much part of
design in the digital age. Massimo's work is consistent over
his long career. Also, he is one of those rare designers who
spans architecture, industrial design, graphic design, and
even fashion design. All with equal excellence!
