Design is one
If you can design something, you can design everything. From graphics to products, from furniture to interiors, from packaging to signage, Massimo’s 50 years of work demonstrates how designers can transcend every field of design. Massimo shows how the Vignelli Associates philosophy of “if you can’t find it, design it” has been at the root of their curiosity and passion, inspiring new ideas and applications.
