Bruno Munari — Queste non son tutte, Chair and Armchair Poster
A witty and insightful visual commentary on the world of seating design, this poster gathers Bruno Munari’s playful drawings of chairs and armchairs — each one expressing a different idea, function, or personality. Originally created for Arte come Mestiere (Laterza, 1966), these sketches humorously trace the endless attempts to reinvent the perfect chair.
As Munari wrote with his characteristic irony: “Queste non son tutte” — “These are not all of them” — because designers continue to create new chairs as if every previous chair had somehow been insufficient. This poster includes both the drawings from the 1966 edition and the additional seating variations introduced in the expanded 1972 edition, offering a lighthearted reflection on design culture, practicality, and imagination.
About Bruno Munari Bruno Munari (1907–1998) was one of the most influential Italian artists and designers of the 20th century, celebrated for his inventive approach to visual communication, product design, education, and playful experimentation.
