acona 'biconbi'

Author Bruno Munari. Originally conceived as a work of sculpture issued from Munari’s researches on the subject of multiples, Acon? Biconb? was manufactured as a “game” for the first time in 1961 by Danese. Acon? Biconb? is available in 4 different colours (red, blue, white and green). Its modules are made of circular disks with a hole in the middle, laterally folded so that they can be freely joined together. The result is a complex three-dimensional structure, that changes into unlimited combinations depending on the number of the modules and their disposition.

Source of inspiration for many designers and artists worldwide, Acon? Biconb? has often been reinvented and “moulded” in several ways and with different materials. Following the direction outlined in Corraini by Il gioco dell’amore e del caso by Paul Cox and Scatola di architettura MC N.1 and Poliscopio by Bruno Munari, Acon? Biconb? continues to discover the domain of artists’ objects and games, in order to develop a brand-new collection. Bruno Munari (1907-1998) has been no doubt the most eclectic italian artist-designer. Since his very first experiences in the 30s among the artists of the Second Futurism, he always dedicated his creative activity to every form of “experimentation”, with a particular attention to the world of children and their games and toys. His works in the fields of painting, sculpture, design, photography and didactics cross their languages and poetics following the path of his very personal inventiveness.Since his very first experiences in the 30s among the artists of the Second Futurism, he always dedicated his creative activity to every form of “experimentation”, with a particular attention to the world of children and their games and toys.
