Deceased Designers: Max Bill

Max Bill worked as an architect, painter, graphic artist, and sculpturist in Zurich before becoming a product designer. His works took on their own independent character over time with his use of geometry and abstraction. He was very influential on designers and played a crucial role in the development of modern art.
