Intimate bilingual portrait of the renowned Swiss graphic designer through 15 thematic chapters that interweave his methodology, philosophy, and selected works. Drawing its title from a pivotal metaphor in Monguzzi’s career - evoking the tension between rigid structure and disruptive intuition - the book features a profound, 20-year-spanning interview by Franc Nunoo-Quarcoo, alongside essays by contributors like Adolf Loos, Mareen Koch, and Tiziana Lotti-Tramezzani. Richly illustrated with Monguzzi’s precise typographic experiments, spatial compositions, and conceptual designs, it traces his evolution from modernist rigour to a nuanced search for meaning, where perfection is shattered by purposeful imperfection, much like a fly breaching a flawless web.
