An homage to Bruno Munari and the building blocks of human civilisation.
Square
‘The square is as high and wide as a human with their arms outstretched. In the oldest writings and in the rock inscriptions of early man, it signifies the idea of enclosure, of home, of settlement.’
Circle
‘While the square is closely linked to humans and our constructions, to architecture, harmonious structures, writing, and so on, the circle is related to the divine: a simple circle has, since ancient times, represented eternity, since it has no beginning and no end. An ancient text says that God is a circle whose center is everywhere but whose circumference is nowhere.’
Triangle
‘The equilateral triangle is one of the three basic forms, along with the circle and the square. A full pattern of equilateral triangles touching on a surface creates a structured field in which endless other combinatorial forms may be constructed, as we can see in many Arab, Chinese, Persian and Japanese decorations. Many styles of decorative art are based around a triangular structure. A triangular (or tetrahedral) structure also gives the overall form balance to lots of works of pure art.’
Quoted from Bruno Munari texts.
