Libro Illeggibile MN 1
This Hato favourite was designed in 1949 by Bruno Munari as part of his libri illeggibili (unreadable books) series, which explores the material of paper as not just a support for text, but as an effective medium of communication itself, conveyed through variations in formant, colour, and material. In 1955, examples from this series were exhibited at the MoMA in New York, in whose Design Collection 9 "illegible books" are kept.
Munari is our Italian godfather number two – the first being Enzo Mari. We’re constantly inspired by Munari’s work; it used to be that if we hit a wall, we’d refer to his books. His view of the role and process of design remains at the forefront of today’s design context. He has a playful and intuitive set of values around design and education – one that has nurtured HATO for over a decade. As students it was always hard to source his projects and books, so we’re so happy to sell them here now.
