Le Macchine di Munari
€22.50
VAT included
In this book, Bruno Munari describes, with great seriousness and attention to detail, machines... useful or useless, but certainly unusual: machines to predict the aurora, a lizard-powered engine for tired turtles, a machine to tame alarm clocks, a tail-wagger for lazy dogs...
Le Macchine di Munari is a poetic and ironic book that stands out for its inventiveness and creativity. Here, Munari showcases his ability to blend art, design, and education, presenting a series of imaginary machines inspired by the famous American cartoonist Rube Goldberg. Each machine, though entirely a product of fantasy, is designed with a sense of realism and functionality, reflecting Munari's deep understanding of the world of design.
Munari’s Machines – collected in this book first published by Einaudi in 1942 and now available again in the Corraini Edizioni catalog – are inventions as precise as they are impossible. Described and illustrated in the finest detail, they follow their own fantastic mechanics and, to our great delight, rebel against the obligation of having to serve a purpose.
