ByDesign opening night reception, hosted by ARCADE!
Opening night film introduction by Cameron Campbell (Teague, ARCADE Board of Trustees
“If you can’t find it, design it” is the motto of the husband-and-wife designers Lella & Massimo Vignelli. Their New York City subway diagram and signage, American Airlines graphic identity, Heller dishes and countless other graphics, publications, corporate identities, products, packaging, architectural graphics and interior design, have, over the past 40 years, greatly influenced the American design landscape and endure beyond all fads.
Design Is One brings us into the Vignellis’ world, capturing their warmth, intelligence and creativity. The film also includes interviews with architects Richard Meier and Peter Eisenman and graphic designers Milton Glaser, Michael Bierut and Jessica Helfand.
This film is part of ByDesign 13, Northwest Film Forum's annual series exploring intersections of design and film, co-presented with ARCADE and AIGA Seattle.
