Massimo Vignelli’s cookery isn’t a big surprise:
I like things that require very little preparation. For instance, lamb chops. You just put some rosemary on top and put the pan in the oven for a few minutes. Bingo, it’s done. … It has to do a lot with my minimalist attitude. It’s amazing how all these things relate.
But he does say that his wife is “a hurricane”, and that “I can’t stand the mess, but I like her cooking better.” Nobody likes to see the sausage factory. ¶ I want his cutlery. ¶ Vignelli’s schematic chart of ideological and design changes also caught my eye this week.
