USELESS MACHINE

1930s

DESIGNER Bruno Munari
PERIOD 1930s
TYPE Kinetic object
SERIES Macchine Inutili
MATERIAL Lightweight shapes, wire, thread

Munari’s Macchine Inutili are suspended kinetic compositions created from lightweight geometric elements connected by threads.

Air currents cause the components to rotate and continuously modify their spatial relationships.

By deliberately rejecting practical function, the works investigate movement, balance and perception while questioning the conventional idea of the machine as a productive device.
