  • Summary: Italian-born Massimo and Lella Vignelli are among the world's most influential designers. Throughout their long career, their motto has been, 'If you can't find it, design it' The work covers such a broad spectrum that one could say the Vignellis are known by everybody, even those who don't know their names. From graphics to interiors to products and corporate identities, the film brings us into the work and everyday moments of the Vignellis' world, capturing their intelligence and creativity, as well as their humanity, warmth, and humor.… Expand

    The information-rich film is enlivened by the charm of the intelligent, eccentric couple at its heart.

    Good design rests at the intersection of function and beauty. Design Is One, alas, has far too little of the latter.

    Haphazard and on the edge of half-hearted, the documentary always feels like a sketch rather than a finished design.
