Vespa – Valerio Boni

// March 23rd, 2007 // books, reading, review

This is an odd entry, i admit. I think its got to do with my sudden respect found for design. Vespa, its an ICON of style. Its the most known automobile on the planet. So its a coffee-table book. This is a series of photographs about the rise & fame of Vespa. There are a few interesting anecdotes. Theres something so simple yet compelling in the design of a Vespa that its original design & shape has hardly gone through any change. Vespa has been sonorous with reliability, style & ease. There also a few pics that this machine to another plane – a cultural phenomenon. There are also bits of the car that spun out of this design. Yeah, I didnt know that either. Theres a sense of peace when looking at people riding a small two wheeler with a tiny engine in gray scale. A simpler time. A provincial life.
