The “chair for very brief visits” signed by Bruno Munari and belonging to Zanotta's Edizioni Collection - characterized by the daring proportions and the intentionally deformed perspective, with the seat inclination that offers a support but a does not allow to sit on it - is the protagonist of the exhibition dedicated to the Maestro inaugurated on September 4th at the Museu da Casa Brasileira in São Paulo.
Curated by the historian Alberto Salvadori, the exhibition organized by the Italian Cultural Institute and the Casa Brasileira Museum, presents 117 works by the Italian designer and artist, offering an overview of his diversified production from the 1930s until the end of his career.The exhibition celebrates one of the most versatile personalities of art and design of the twentieth century who, during his career, planned a true idea of alternative reality. Bruno Munari (1907-1998) was a graphic designer, artist and pedagogue, in constant dialogue with different forms and artistic tendencies.
