The desks of creatives

By Rain Noe - October 8, 2010

in Object Culture

In a Design Observer article entitled "Massimo Vignelli's Desk," design critic Alice Twemlow references both a Guardian photo series of writer's workspaces and Imaginary Forces' The Desk, a short film documenting the desks of creatives, Vignelli included. "With a designer's desk...the tools, sketches, reference images, Japanese packaging, type samples and printouts provide a more logical cognitive path from initial brief to the final design," writes Twemlow, who goes on to illuminate how Vignelli's desk philosophy tracks with both his work style and design style.

For more on this, check out the aforementioned short film The Desk:
