More than 100 Christmas cards created by a who’s-who of the past century’s design talents—Ettore Sottsass, Bruno Munari, and Bob Noorda among them—star in this holiday-appropriate show that subverts the stereotypes of season’s greetings. Ranging from Gio Ponti’s self-celebratory foldout of his then-under-construction Pirelli skyscraper in 1958 to A G Fronzoni’s minimalist Santa and Studio Boggeri’s dotted Christmas tree, the cards demonstrate how each designer’s distinct style translates to unexpected modes of visual expression.
