Imagine a beautiful day outside. What’s there? The sun is out. The grass is waving. And the circus is in town!

Plus And Minus is a game that thinks about building a story like you might build a house out of blocks. You place one transparent sheet on top of another, building a story as you go. This is a great way to get young children telling stories, encouraging them to invent, interpret, and even begin to think critically about how stories are made.

Plus and Minus is a set of 72 cards. Many of those cards (48) have a transparent background, creating the possibility to overlap the cards and create richer images.

Bruno Munari was a well known Italian artist and designer. He dedicated his creative activity to any form of experimentation. With particular attention to the world of children, their games and their toys. He expressed his personal inventiveness in a large variety of ways, from painting to sculpture and photography.

Corraini Edizioni x Misc-store Amsterdam

Corraini Edizioni's work is made out of curiosity and discovery, used to levity and fun. An unpredictable and uninterrupted process that, in their case, has lasted for over 40 years — 40 years of encounters, bandying between art and books, in search of new languages, contaminations, free experimentation.

Created next to an already established art gallery, Corraini Edizioni's publishing work ranges between design, art and illustration, often blurring the boundaries between the different disciplines. Naturally, given the association with Munari, particular attention is given to artists’ books for children.
