So said Bruno Munari, the brilliant, groundbreaking enfant terrible of Italian art and design.
Picasso called him 'the new Leonardo"; we call him a genius.
Why is he such an influence on us? Because he understands that less is more. The simplicity of a square, a triangle and a circle in primary colours becomes exquisite poetry in his hands through his choice of placement in space, or through the lilt he gives to a curved line.
And because anyone who makes Useless Machines which wag the tail of lazy dogs or which predict dawn is someone whose creative imagination must be explored!
