Design is One: The Vignellis (2012)
Directors: Kathy Brew, Roberto Guerra
86 minutes, USA
English; Turkish subtitles
Design is One: The Vignellis looks at the multifaceted practice of Italian designers Massimo Vignelli (1931-2014) and Lella Vignelli (1934-2016), who collaborated for more than half a century, beginning in the 1960s. Completed by Kathy Brew and Roberto Guerra shortly before Massimo Vignelli’s passing, the documentary film features interviews with prominent figures from different fields of design, including Milton Glaser, Michael Bierut, Steven Heller, Jessica Helfand, Peter Eisenman, and Paola Antonelli.
With a modernist approach rooted in simplicity, the Vignellis drew attention to the visual pollution caused by the diversification of computer-based design. Their influence extended across various areas, from design culture to social life. Documents related to their work, ranging from publications to environmental design, interiors, and furniture, are now housed in the Vignelli Archive at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.
The film will be screened in its original language with Turkish subtitles.
