Vignellis

One of the first really exciting things I did in the Chicago design community was volunteer at the book launch party for Unimark with the STA. Massimo Vignelli wrote the introduction to the book and was the special guest at the event that brought together former colleagues and friends from Unimark. I had the joy of tagging along for dinner afterward and the opportunity to eat with so many founding members of Chicago design was exhilerating. When I feverishly recounted the story to my parents, they had no idea who Massimo Vignelli was, but they immediately responded to his work. Such a legend, and so classy.
Needless to say, I was thrilled when design work life mentioned an interview with Massimo about working with his wife for 50 years. It made me love him even more, if that's possible. You can read the interview here as part of idsgn's series on Design Love.
