Massimio Presentation (I forgot to sign in...Shoham said to write about it to redeem the "absence")
When Massimo came to speak at Grant auditorium it was completely packed i was sitting in the back so it was hard to hear him. He was quite humorous and despite his old age still very sharp. I enjoyed how the presentation went through each decade and he began each decade with a photograph of himself and his wife. He has always been a favorite designer of mine so I'd seen much of the stuff he showed. My favorite part was when he said "the best design is invisible design" I think about it almost every time I'm creating a design for fun or for an assignment. It makes sense that Massimo has more or less lived by this because some of his oldest designs you'd never guess weren't created yesterday! If the design is invisible then it's essentially timeless which I think is the goal of almost every high end designer out there.
