Danese Milano Galapagos Large Frame by Bruno Munari
About the Item
Galapagos is a picture frame made of two square sheets of ultrawhite glass, held together and supported by satin finish stainless steel elements. The frame is distinctive because although it has clean lines and a formal shape it does not actually have a solid frame.
Bruno Munari was one of the most important Italian architects, artists and designers of the 20th Century. Born in Milan in 1907 he started his artistic work very young during the Futurist period and dedicated himself to painting, graphic design, film making, poetry an writing. His work is characterized by its strong educative nature, which stems from his passionate interest in using play to develop creativity in children. In the last years of his life he concentrated more and more on the problem of visual and artistic education organizing and participating in courses, seminars and activities for children, adults and teachers. After more than half a century his creations live on to this day in his collections for Danese Milano.

Bruno Munari
In his prolific career, Bruno Munari was known for various contributions to art, industrial design, film, architecture, art theory, and technology. Munari’s principles and beliefs were built upon his early involvement in the Futurist movement, which he joined at the age of 19 using the pseudonym “Bum.” During the 1930s, Munari began to move towards Constructivism, particularly with his kinetic sculptures, Useless Machines (begun 1933), meant to transform or complicate their surrounding environments. Throughout his career, Munari was captivated by both a sense of whimsy and the manipulation of artificial light. After World War II, Munari also developed radical innovation in graphics, typography, and book publishing, through the latter creating pieces he would call Useless Books.
