Geometria euclidea e simbolismo sono riuniti in Metafora, iconico tavolino da caffè disegnato da Massimo e Lella Vignelli nel 1979 per #MartinelliLuce.

I wouldn't lean too hard on Massimo Vignelli's vision. The pylons are a powerful choice, but it's a severe system, and as a rule, if you can see a sign in a crowded station, it wasn't part of the original design. Also, Vignelli relied on crisply written text in a way the new system does not.

I am instead thinking of subway maps, which I have fixated on for a few weeks. I found a perfect upload of the 1979 New York subway map, which, while very busy, has a certain beauty and clarity that disappeared when it was digitized. I love the new map, which is clear and concise.

🌍 The U.N. voted 164-1 to encourage a shift away from the Mercator map toward the Equal Earth projection, which better reflects countries’ true size.
