An ancient Chinese saying says: "Infinity is a square without corners". This shape has always indicated "the idea of an enclosure, of a house, of a village" and has accompanied people in their everyday lives, from the church to the town square, from road signs to advertising posters, from Chinese ideograms to Pythagorean tables.
Once again Bruno Munari astounds us with a work that straddles history, anthropology and natural sciences – in square format, of course.
Together with Il cerchio and Il triangolo, it is part of a special trilogy dedicated to these shapes, their history and their meanings and uses.
