Fantazie – invence, kreativita a představivost ve vizuální komunikaci

Never-before translated into English, Bruno Munari’s Fantasy (Fantasia, 1977), invites the reader to explore their own imagination, creativity, and fantasy through a journey in Munari’s mind and work experience. His theory of creativity, developed in conversation with the Reggio Emilia approach and the work of Jean Piaget, foregrounds the book’s journey through Munari’s own design processes, and his work for clients and with children.

By turning life and work into a classroom, Munari unlocks a path through imagination in order to access his, and in turn our, deepest sense of play. The facsimile reprint is accompanied by new contextual annotations by Munari scholar and design historian Jeffrey Schnapp. These micro-interventions highlight the innovations that make this work as relevant today as when originally published.

About the author

Bruno Munari

Bruno Munari (1907–1998) was a pioneering Italian artist, designer, and inventor, often hailed as a Leonardo-like figure of the 20th century for his versatility in graphic design, industrial design, painting, and sculpture. Closely linked with Futurism early on and later the Concrete Art Movement (MAC), he aimed to bridge art and life, focusing on play, tactile learning, and the functional beauty of objects.
