But it was originally published in 1966 and so the type is quite densely crammed in making the wisdom within less accessible to the casual reader. For Munari, design was not just a practical or even aesthetic practice, but an artistic one: "The designer of today re-establishes the long-lost contact between art and the public, between living people and art as a living thing.
