Bruce Mau



















Bruce Mau is a contemporary designer from Sudbury, Canada. When he first became interested in design he thought of himself mainly as a graphic designer, but he has branched out since then. He has worked to design a museum and installation art as well as authoring his own books. The books S, M, L, XL and Life Style cemented his fame in the design world. However, the work that launched his career and led to the founding of his business, appropriately named Bruce Mau Design, was the book series Zone. The designs for Zone Books are unique in their flexibility. The series contains over one hundred titles that work together but still maintain their independance. For a short video about him and his work check out this. He seems to like Slinkys and the word "capacity."
