"Design is one." -Massimo Vignelli

This ubiquitous dinnerware, designed to be stackable in a compact way, originally was manufactured in Italy and won their first Compasso d'Oro award for Good Design in 1964. Introduced later in the United States and then manufactured by Heller, the dinnerware became extremely popular, especially after it was produced in a rainbow of briliant colors.

Italian natives, Massimo & Lella Vignelli established the Vignelli Office of Design and Architecture in the city of Milan in 1960. Both have been recipients of numerous design awards with examples of their works included in permanent collection of several museums around the world. Today, their projects are associated around graphics and design through Vignelli Associates.

Massimo Vignelli

If you can design one thing, you can design everything, said Massimo Vignelli. Vignelli went to New York in 1966 to start the New York branch of a new company, Unimark International which became one of the largest design firms in the world.
Heller has created a simple paradigm: good design, industrial production and reasonable prices. Heller's stacking dinnerware won a Compasso d’Oro award and is included in the MoMA design collection.
