Good Design, Bruno Munari, 1963

From Corraini Edizioni:

“With its good-humoured look at natural shapes seen through the eyes of a designer, this hugely significant book is celebrating its 50th anniversary.  An example of good design? An orange  -  'an almost perfect object where shape, function and use display total consistency'.”

Perspective machine by Filippo Brunelleschi, Florence, ca. 1400

From Drawing Academy:

“As the story goes, one sunny morning in Florence, Italy, Filippo Brunelleschi appeared at the gate of the not-yet-completed cathedral, holding a little painting and a little mirror. Already considered a magician by half of Florence because of the dome he was building without any scaffolding, Master Filippo gathered a sizable crowd for his demonstration.

Brunelleschi led the crowd to the gate of the cathedral so that they would look in the direction of the Baptistery outside the building. He gave a painting with a hole in the middle to somebody in the crowd and asked him to keep the unpainted backside of the painting towards himself and to look through the hole with one eye into the direction of the Baptizing Chapel. Then the master suddenly lifted a mirror in front of the painting, covering the chapel from the viewer’s sight, and asking loudly enough so that people further away in the crowd could hear: “What can you see, Sir?” “Oh, the Baptistery, Sir Filippo!” the man replied.
