""Clarity, for the Vignellis, is not an aesthetic preference; it is an ethical and methodological position. Their work is always rooted in a logical process, grounded in essentiality and reduction.""
""In those days, it seemed to me that the whole city of New York was a permanent Vignelli exhibition. To get to the office, I rode the subway with Vignelli-designed signage, passed people carrying Vignelli-designed Bloomingdale's shopping bags, and walked by St. Peter's Church, with its Vignelli-designed pipe organ visible through the window.""
Massimo Vignelli and his wife Lella Vignelli significantly impacted modern design and visual culture. Their retrospective exhibition, A Language of Clarity, at Triennale Milano showcases their contributions through meticulously arranged displays of their work. Michael Bierut reflects on Vignelli's influence in New York, where his designs were omnipresent. The exhibition emphasizes clarity as an ethical stance, rooted in logical processes and essentiality, and is supported by the Vignelli Center for Design Studies, which houses extensive documentation of their work.
