"We need to aim at essential things, to remove every redundant effects, every useless flowering, to elaborate a concept on mathematical bases, on fundamental ideas, on elementary structures; we strongly need to avoid waste and excess". -A.G. Forzoni

With a goal to reduce waste and excess, graphic designer A.G. Forzoni has devoted himself to the communicate of his goals. Born in Pistoia, he has been strongly active in magazines such as Punta and Casabella, in the interior design, in graphics, exhibitions and didactics.
