Using the cut stem of a lettuce leaf as a stamp, Bruno Munari discovers that there are roses in the lettuce. Have you ever seen them? In Roses in the Salad, Bruno Munari plays with vegetables, cutting them in half and covering them in colour: this is how roses can come from salads, trees from cabbages and flowers from tomatoes. Through his illuminating, gentle genius, the book offers basic instructions and plenty of stimuli, suggestions, and illustrative pictures.

This book is part of the Workshop series that describes different methods of learning, from educational activities to poetic play.

At Misc Store we also carry Drawing A Tree and Drawing the Sun, other titles from Corraini Edizioni's Workshop series.

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.
