Il venditore di animali€19.00
A quirky animal seller presents us with a series of fanciful creatures with strange habits: a flamingo smoking a pipe, a slightly tipsy armadillo, a grumpy porcupine... but nothing satisfies his potential buyer, not even a centipede to take for a walk. Perhaps what he’s really looking for isn’t exactly a pet...
Along with eight other titles, Il venditore di animali is part of the historic Libri del '45 series that Bruno Munari created after the birth of his son Alberto. These books, made with die-cuts, holes, and large, elegant illustrations, invite a game of discovery and exploration, leaving everyone captivated by the magic that paper can create.
This series—a timeless classic that will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2025 since its first edition—has retained its originality and aims to stimulate children's curiosity, showing them that inside something, there is always something else, encouraging them to explore with wonder. Many of these books were inspired by games and rituals that Munari played with his son Alberto, which he then chose to put on paper. For the joy of all children, and not just them.

The green magician, the friendly Alfonso, disappears and reappears in trunks and boxes, changes his outfit, and lets us catch glimpses of his tools of the trade while we chase him through the pages.

Lucio Fontana€13.50
"Milan. Year 1949. Lucio Fontana is working in his studio on Corso Monforte. He is not satisfied with how a painting is turning out, so he decides to destroy it. He grabs a blade and... SLASH!"
With his gesture, both destructive and innovative, Lucio Fontana managed to synthesize something unique: he was able to represent space, infinite space, with a cut in the canvas. This is how his famous Concetti Spaziali were born—works made of holes and cuts, in paper, terracotta, canvas, or metal, that Fontana created with focus and determination.
In the same series, in which the artist Gilberti tells us, with intelligence and a playful eye, the works of great figures in contemporary art, we find the stories of Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Yayoi Kusama, and Banksy.

Il cerchio | Bruno Munari€15.00
“God is a circle whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.”
The circle is associated with perfection, cyclicality, and the superiority of the divine, but also with instability and motion. In nature, soap bubbles are spherical, and the growth rings of trees are circular. Legend has it that Giotto’s “O” was a perfect circle, while perfection becomes tangible in Michelangelo’s Doni Tondo and Botticelli’s Madonna and Child. King Arthur’s knights gathered around a round table to symbolize their equality—just as today we gather in circles to make decisions or watch a performance.
In this extraordinary little encyclopedia, Bruno Munari collects and describes dozens of uses of this fascinating and mysterious shape throughout the centuries—at once as unstable as it is hieratic.
Together with The Square and The Triangle, it is part of a special trilogy dedicated to these shapes, their history, meanings, and uses.

JACKSON POLLOCK€13.50
The artist Fausto Gilberti takes us by the hand to discover the art of Jackson Pollock, a brilliant and restless painter. One who didn’t like standing still in front of the easel, with brushes and palette in hand, but who found his own unique way of painting: he dripped, splattered, and let the paint flow, roaming around the unrolled canvas with the energy and grace of a dancer.
In the same series, where the artist Gilberti tells us, with intelligence and a playful eye, the works of great figures in contemporary art, we find the stories of Yves Klein, Piero Manzoni, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Yayoi Kusama, and Banksy.

Fausto Gilberti. MARCEL DUCHAMP€13.50
Mr. Duchamp's works of art were strange and unusual. They weren't paintings and they weren't sculptures, yet they were undoubtedly art. From an artist who, laughing and joking, pushed the boundaries of art a little further.
After the books dedicated to Piero Manzoni, Yves Klein, and Jackson Pollock, the series of books grows, in which the artist Fausto Gilberti tells us, with intelligence and a playful eye, the works of great figures in contemporary art.

Louise Bourgeois€13.50
Born in France into a family of tapestry restorers, Louise Bourgeois loved studying mathematics and helping her mother with her work as a weaver. She enjoyed drawing so much that, over time, she decided to become an artist.
A dream come true in New York, the city where she would move and live for the rest of her life: here, Louise became the first sculptor to have an exhibition at MoMA. Louise sculpted slender figures representing her loved ones left behind in France, filled entire sheets of paper with words, just like in school, and used objects she had kept from childhood to create her works... She even built a giant spider! And if spiders scare you, after reading this book, you might look at them with different eyes.
After Piero Manzoni, Yves Klein, Jackson Pollock, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Yayoi Kusama, and Banksy, the book dedicated to Louise Bourgeois adds to the series in which the artist Fausto Gilberti tells us, with intelligence and a playful eye, the works of great figures in contemporary art.

Le sculture da viaggio di Munari€20.00
"The travel sculptures were originally created as small pieces (some even pocket-sized) to carry around or to have a piece of one’s own culture in an anonymous hotel room. Later, they became large ‘travel’ sculptures in steel, five or six meters tall. One was exhibited for a few months in Cesenatico, others along the seafront in Naples. Still others rest among tall trees in South Tyrol." - Bruno Munari, Bruno Munari Group Exhibition
This is how Bruno Munari described his famous 'travel sculptures', which American illustrator and designer David A. Carter has reinterpreted in this pop-up book.
Carter himself describes it this way: "The book you are holding explores a particular aspect of Munari’s work: the travel sculptures. Munari was an extremely experimental artist, and I believe he created these sculptures by experimenting with paper and the many ways it can be folded. Most of these works are made of paper, like modern pop-up books, while others are made of wood, with leather inserts, and still others in metal. I hope you’ll love Bruno Munari’s travel sculptures as much as I do. And don’t forget to take this book with you on your travels."
Munari’s Travel Sculptures is a tribute to Bruno Munari’s creativity and his innovative approach to the book as a vehicle of communication—not only through text, but also through format, paper, and color.

Magali Reus. KOOL. A Type Specimen€35.00
KOOL. A Type Specimen is an artist’s book built around KOOL (“cabbage” in Dutch), a new font designed by Reus in collaboration with Antonio de la Hera and Kia Tasbihgou. Halfway between a vegetal alphabet and concrete poetry, the KOOL font includes 26 lowercase letters, 26 uppercase letters, a full set of numbers, 16 punctuation marks, and 6 symbols. It is the result of a three-year research project by the artist, focused on the visual and calligraphic relationship between red cabbage scraps and the letters of the Latin alphabet. The book created by Reus to present the font takes inspiration from the traditional format of the type specimen book—the sample book used by type foundries to showcase the wide range of graphic possibilities, layouts, and configurations of a new typeface.
