Bruno Munari - Libro Illeggibile 'Mn 1'

In 1949 Munari designs for the first time a series of "libri illeggibili" (illegible books), which abandon textual communication in behalf of aesthetic function only. Paper is no longer the support of the text only, but it also communicates a message through the format, the colour, the cuts and their successions. The elements that usually set up a book (like the colophon and the title-page) are kept off, and the reading seems the execution of a melody, with always different tones during the sequence of the pages.
