{"product_id":"9781616894122","title":"Bruno Munari: Circle Square Triangle","description":"In the early 1960s Italian design legend Bruno Munari published his visual case studies on shapes: \u003ci\u003eCircle\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSquare\u003c\/i\u003e, and, a decade later, \u003ci\u003eTriangle\u003c\/i\u003e. Using examples from ancient Greece and Egypt, as well as works by Buckminster Fuller, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto, Munari invests the three shapes with specific qualities: the circle relates to the divine, the square signifies safety and enclosure, and the triangle provides a key connective form for designers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the great designers of the twentieth century, Munari contributed to the fields of painting, sculpture, design, and photography while teaching throughout his seventy-year career. After World War II he began to focus on book design, creating children's books known for their simplicity and playfulness.","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42996013072445,"sku":"9781616894122","price":32.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781616894122_p0.jpg?v=1771579949","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781616894122","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
