The first book to exclusively present Cleto Munari's latest
creations in the field of the applied arts: a unique collection of
art carpets. Cleto Munari was born in Gorizia and he lives and
works in Vicenza. After meeting Carlo Scarpa in 1973, who
encouraged him in his work, he decided to focus his attention on
the area of industrial design, and began to work for some of the
most important companies in the world. Constantly in search of
original ideas, over the years he has tirelessly been engaged in
analyzing and experimenting with both forms and material. In 1985
he opened a laboratory-studio-jeweler's, where, together with a
group of worldclass architects, he designs and produces silver
jewelry and other objects for avant-garde collections that truly
represent historical revolutions in jewelry both in Italy and
abroad, and have also led to the production of watches, pens and
furniture. Cleto Munari's objects have entered the permanent
collections of some of the world's top museums, including the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New
York. This book is the first to exclusively present Cleto Munari's
latest creations in the field of the applied arts. After his
jewelery, silverware, watches and furnishings, the great designer
has involved ten other designers and artists in the creation of a
unique collection of art carpets. Signed by Lawrence Ferlinghetti,
Dario Fo, Mario Botta, Alessandro Mendini, Javier Mariscal, Ettore
Mochetti, Deisa Centazzo, Sandro Chia, Mimmo Paladino and by Cleto
Munari himself, these creations are full-fledged works of art and
represent the high point of the skills and expertise of one of the
greatest creative designers in the world, who has been designing
and producing for over forty years.
