“Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don’t be sorry.”
Kerouac in Tangier, 1957.
Happy Birthday to archive: Vignelli!
It’s been one year since we started this blog! Did you know we take requests? A Vignelli fan asked us to feature some of Massimo’s earliest work. We thought that would be a great way to celebrate our 1st birthday!
Unfortunately we know very little about this project. We hope to find more in the future as we keep unpacking the Vignelli papers! Stay tuned!

"I’m trying to raise a thinking child in a world that is constantly telling him what to believe."
"How do you do that?"
"Travel and tell the truth."
If hope was a color.

How to Let Go: A Work in Progress
Brainstorming for a new illustration for a zine submission.
"The problem with some designers is that they play with the appearance of things rather than getting at the essence." - Massimo Vignelli
The Kono table has a glass top resting on a slab of granite on one side, and the tip of a metal cone on the other. The cone comes in variety of finishes from rusted steel to gold leafed steel. This design exploits the relationship between abstract geometrical figures and materials finishes. design: Vignelli, p. 250.
