Description“Max Bill is asked to design a wall clock. He knows that by convention, the hour hand is shorter than the minute hand, the hours to be indicated are twelve in number, the minutes sixty. He diligently arranges everything on two corresponding circles, to precisely mark the flow of time.
And now, in three steps, three decades: from the circle to the triangle to the square, and the organic. In all senses.
Six projects, one unique author: architect, designer, graphic artist, painter, sculptor, and theorist.“
Bruno Monguzzi
