By request…

Did you know we take requests? Let us know if there is a project by the Vignellis that you want to know more about and we’ll see what we can find in the archives. A Vignelli fan asked us to feature some of Massimo Vignelli’s graphic design for Krueger International (now simply KI). 

Here are a number of pieces for the Piretti Collection from KI, “the contract furniture division of Krueger International.” The Piretti collection was designed by Giancarlo Piretti and previewed at NEOCON 20 and Designer’s Saturday. We recently found this sketch which shows many of the printed pieces we have in the archives. The Vignellis also did showroom designs for KI so we’re keeping our eyes open for more on those in the archives.
