La sedia per visite corte, the chair for brief visits 1945
If her guests are unstimulating, if life seems to be rushing by, if time is pressing, if the need to hurry steals the minutes and the hours… then the seat is slippery, she is shorter than usual, her back higher… This is a chair for briefs visits. Bruno Munari
From Cicci Coco, an Arnone and Munari book
The greatest obstacle to understand a work of art is trying too hard. Bruno Munari
L’albero, di Bruno Munari
You are the average of the 5 persons you spend most time with.
The bed-book, six cushions 70x70cm, in various materials
This is a book for children
a bed if one feels like it
a book one can live in
You can take a nap between its pages
There are little dreams right there
A soft dream about cats
a dream as rough as…
Lots of little dreams
Just lie down on the page of your choice
The diverse materials will prompt you
As when you snooze on the grass, or on
the beach, on a towel, spread on the sand
or on a velvet sofa or on a sheep-skin
The pages can be removed
and laid out as one wishes
The short sentences
can be mixed and matched
into stories
that are different every time
Each book is read (a bed)
but not every bed is a book
with its pages laid out at will on the floor
it creates a story you can touch
and change the way you want it.
Every book is read (a bed)
but this bed is experienced in
a different way every time.
Sweet dreams.
Bruno Munari 1993
Homage to Calder by Carl Kleiner
L’uovo a una forma perfetta benchè sia ha fatto con il culo. Bruno Munari
A whisper of production generates the greatest image. Kenya Hara
God is a circle whose centre is everywhere but whose circumference is nowhere”. Circle means perfection, cyclicity, superiority of the divinity, but also instability and movement. In nature soap bubbles are spherical and internal trees’ rings are circular. Bruno Munari
