Is it just us or does this Aarnio chair make you want to float down a river under the summer sun? [It really does float!]
Finnish designer Eero Aarnio created the Gyro chair (aka the Pastil or Rock n Roll chair) in 1967. This poster was designed by Massimo Vignelli for Stendig while he worked at the New York Unimark International office circa 1968. The photo was taken by James Berberian.
Does this poster look familiar? That signature black band across the top, with tightly kerned white san serif text, was also on the 1966 Stendig poster-size calendar by Vignelli. This technique also makes an appearance on Vignelli’s Unigrid publications designed in 1976. Both are still in use today.
Keep scrolling to see examples of the Unigrid and the Stendig calendar including Massimo Vignelli caught on camera by photographer Stan Ries during a photoshoot in 1974.
