With essays by Iva Janáková and others, this bilingual Czech-English volume chronicles Sutnar’s trajectory from De Stijl-influenced typography and 1930s exhibition design in Czechoslovakia to his postwar American breakthroughs in information graphics, catalog systems for Sweet’s, and iconic Addo-X calculator branding. Richly illustrated with rare posters, books, glassware, toys, and ephemera - many reproduced for the first time - it reveals Sutnar’s “visual design in action” philosophy: functional beauty, controlled asymmetry, and user-centered clarity that prefigured modern UI\/UX principles and continues to shape contemporary graphic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: \u003c\/b\u003eVery Good.
