In 1953, the Container Corporation of America commissioned Bauhaus designer Herbert Bayer to create an atlas to commemorate the company’s 25th year of business. Alongside three other accomplished designers, Bayer worked for five years on an oversize (11.5″ x 15.5″) book of 368 pages, featuring over 2,200 diagrams. The results are stunning and, to my eye, yet unmatched.
Stunning indeed.
