Design is One: Lella & Massimo Vignelli

On the evening of Saturday, June 18, 2022, Magazzino Italian Art screened Design is One: Lella & Massimo Vignelli. Italian-born Lella and Massimo Vignelli are among the world’s most influential designers, and through the scope and integrity of their work, they have influenced the world of design for over 40 years.

Prior to the screening, director Kathy Brew was joined in conversation with designer Beatriz Cifuentes, who is featured in the film, and designer Yoshiki Waterhouse. Both were longtime associates of the Vignellis. They discussed what it was like to work with the Vignellis and how their design philosophy, discipline, and practice carried on into the couple's own design practice, Waterhouse Cifuentes Design, and as a design consultant for Magazzino Italian Art.
