Leila & Massimo Vignelli, Titans Of Design

Timelessness, a gem of a show devoted to the designs of Leila and Massimo Vignelli, just opened at the Italian Cultural Institute! 

The spotlight is on that duo’s oeuvre from the 1950s through today, and reflects the considerable reach of their practice.

Both trained in architecture, they produced signage for the New York subway system, Bloomingdale’s ubiquitous brown paper bag, and the Ford Motor Company corporate identity program (for which they received $1 million), just to name a few!

Read their amazing story in artnet Magazine.
