In 1942, the artist, writer, product designer, architect, graphic designer, illustrator, educator and philosopher Bruno Munari created an enormously successful and utterly charming book called Le Macchine di Munari. Faithfully reprinted here, it contains instructions for building the most fantastical of mechanical structures, including a machine for taming alarm clocks, a lizard-driven engine for tired tortoises, a mechanism for sniffing artificial flowers, a humiliator for mosquitoes, a machine for playing the pipe even when you are not home, a machine for seeing the dawn before anyone else and a tail wagger for dogs.

For Drawing a Tree, Bruno Munari proposes: “When drawing a tree, always remember that every branch is more slender than the one that came before. Also note that the trunk splits into two branches, then those branches split in two, then those in two, and so on, and so on, until you have a full tree, be it straight, squiggly, curved up, curved down, or bent sideways by the wind.”

In Drawing the Sun, Bruno Munari suggests: “When drawing the sun, try to have on hand colored paper, chalk, felt-tip markers, crayons, pencils, ballpoint pens―you can draw a sun with any one of them. Also remember that sunset and dawn are the back and front of the same phenomenon: when we are looking at the sunset, the people over there are looking at the dawn.”

In the early 1960s Italian design legend Bruno Munari published his visual case studies on shapes: Circle, Square, and, a decade later, Triangle. Using examples from ancient Greece and Egypt, as well as works by Buckminster Fuller, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto, Munari invests the three shapes with specific qualities: the circle relates to the divine, the square signifies safety and enclosure, and the triangle provides a key connective form for designers.One of the great designers of the twentieth century, Munari contributed to the fields of painting, sculpture, design, and photography while teaching throughout his seventy-year career. After World War II he began to focus on book design, creating children's books known for their simplicity and playfulness.

"In 1949, Italian designer Bruno Munari began creating 'illegible books,' books which give up all pretense of textual communication in favor of pure aesthetics. These books use oddly-cut pages in bright colors to communicate through form, color, and pattern instead of written information. Munari omits the traditional elements of the book and transforms the reading of the book into a quasi-musical experience, where the turning of the pages is rhythmic rather than narrative." "Libro Illeggibile MN 1" was designed by Munari in 1984; third printing, 1995, from an unnumbered edition of 2000 copies. Sewn, stiff card covers; 32 die-cut, color pages; 4 x 4 inches. Condition: Fine in the original printed envelope. Will be sandwiched securely between stiff layers of cardboard and shipped the next business day.

In this imaginative ABC book, acclaimed artist, designer, and children's author, Bruno Munari shows how fun letters can be. From an Ant on an Apple to a Blue Butterfly to a Cat in a Cage, Munari pairs words in whimsical ways until the Fly frees itself from its page, lands on the Hat, buzzes near the Ice Cream, and provides the final sound for Zzzzz.

One of the last surviving members of the futurist generation, Bruno Munari has been the enfant terrible of Italian art and design for most of this century. Munari was born in 1907 in Milan and it was against the active background of futurism that his artistic experiments developed, but his mechanical fantasies, practical inventions, and didactic writings continue to be enjoyed by a public that has no memory of Balla, Prampolini, and Marinetti. Munari's 40-odd books, ranging from futurist manifestoes to design manuals to children's books, have been widely read in many languages. But this book, itself designed by Munari, is the first comprehensive account of his total achievement. Here are the Unreadable Books (that told stories through the possibilities of typography, papermaking, and binding), Traveling Sculptures, Fossils of the Year 2000, Theoretical Reconstruction of Imaginary Objects, Original Xerographies, Negative Positives, and the famous Useless Machines of the 1930s (constructions for wagging the tails of lazy dogs, predicting dawn, making sobs sound musical) as well as numerous other works, some published for the first time. The hundreds of illustrations, many in full color, recreate Munari's relentless inventiveness, his love of irony, chance and humor, his intensely experimental orientation and constantly fresh approach to new technologies and materials. Aldo Tanchis lives in Milan where he is currently collaborating with the advertising agency Pirella Göttsche. He is the author of The Anomalous Art of Bruno Munari.

From drawings, designs, collages, paintings, sculptures, readable and not-so-readable books to new image reproduction techniques, industrial design, editorial graphics, architecture and new pedagogical ideas, the scope of Bruno Munari's (1907–98) activities is dauntingly vast. This book accordingly approaches his output as a universe of its own, eschewing analyses of style and development in favor of offering a journey through the “total art” of Munari.Accompanying a 2017 exhibition at the Museo Ettore Fico in Turin, and including more than 500 reproductions, interviews with Munari and a critical essay, this book is a visual cornucopia and an exciting testimony to the diversity and originality of Bruno Munari’s art.

A one-of-a-kind xerograph is the result of an image or object that is moved while the photocopy machine is in motion so that a new--impossible-to-replicate--image is produced. The resultant image is, then, not a copy of the original image or object but an original in its own right. This rigorous process of exploiting the photocopier's potential was developed by the quixotic Italian artist and designer Bruno Munari in the series Quaderni di Design (1977), and is reproduced here--flying in the face of digital technology--for a new generation of xerography enthusiasts. Every phase of the copy-making process, from reading limits to toner concentration has been systematically tested (to exacting 1970s standards) by Munari. The result is a witty series of samples that exhaustively detail every imaginable potential of the machine, some of which are quite unexpected.

It is Munari's treatment of the same themes that results in exquisite representations of natural objects. The attention to detail in his paintings can be viewed in this text, along with his compositional style, his resolute use of light and his sense of the physicality of his pictorial items.
