00:00The Vignellis are known by everybody, even by people who don't know their names.
00:16They're surrounded by the things that they've conceived.
00:19There's so much that designers put into the environment, and the designers aren't known,
00:24but the object is.
00:26And Massimo and Lella put a lot into the environment.
00:30I would have come to the United States anyway, as I say many times, even with the sanitation department fellowship.
00:40We started immediately instead working on the whole field of design, because that was our education.
00:52Collaboration is a trust on the other person.
00:56People think that there are two hands of one person.
00:59Most of the time, I'm the pencil, and Lella is the criticism.
01:10This is the luck that we have.
01:12We are absolutely complementary, one to each other.
01:15There's just so much that surrounds us that the Vignellis have had a hand in over the years.
01:35Massimo and Lella are really the essence of modernism.
01:39Bold, bold, punchy.
01:41Elegance from all sides.
01:43Just perfect.
01:53Design and life are totally interconnected.
01:57You live, breathe, and create.
02:00Massimo and Lella, we love it.
02:02There's a fire in their belly all the time.
02:04Will it have meaning a hundred years from now?
02:13Yes.
02:14And that's what's important.
02:15The first 50s are very difficult.
02:20The second one are great.
02:24What I wanted to do in my life, yeah, affect, it's pretty ambitious, but I always wanted to
02:31affect the life of millions of people, you know, through design.
02:36The second one is great.
