Design Milk is pleased to share the first lecture of the 2022/2023 academic year of The Vignelli Center for Design Studies’ Design Conversations Lecture Series featuring Kathy Brew, co-director of Design is One: Lella & Massimo Vignelli. The film offers an in-depth look into the lives and work of Lella and Massimo Vignelli, capturing two of the world’s most influential designers’ creativity and intelligence.
