Design is One is a documentary about Massimo and Lella Vignelli. You don't know them but you definitely know their art. Everything from the NY MTA wayfinding signage to the American Airlines logo to the Bloomingdale's logo. Ducati, Ford, JCPenny, United Colors of Benetton, Knoll...the list is endless. Their influence is profound. It's shocking.
They design anything and everything from clothes to furniture to buildings to logos to corporate identities to housewares to whatever.
If you saw the Helvetica documentary you were probably amused by Massimo's interviews. He's very passionate and very straightforward, but without being a dick. He's opinionated, but approachable. Funny dude. Talented as fuck.
So, this is a doc focusing on their design impact. I recommend it to anyone who cares about aesthetics. Period.
Go stream it on Netflix.
