The Square by Bruno Munari is a compact design book exploring the square and its place across architecture, typography, objects and everyday life.
Presented in a square format with 88 pages, the sewn paperback brings together visual examples and observations spanning design, history, anthropology and the natural sciences.
Use it as a reference for creative thinking or simply dip into its surprising examples of how four equal sides have shaped everything from churches and monuments to games and graphic forms.
Its focused study turns an apparently simple shape into a playful investigation of enclosure, home, structure and repetition.
Bruno Munari was an influential Italian artist and designer known for approaching design with curiosity, experimentation and wit.
A well considered little book for anyone interested in design, visual culture and the ordinary forms hiding in plain sight.
15.5cm x 15.5cm.
