Danese Milano Carta della luna Screen Printing

Carta della Luna is a silkscreen print by Bruno Munari, produced by Danese Milano, originally designed in 1959 and reissued in 2015. The work reproduces the surface of the Moon with remarkable geographical accuracy, transforming a lunar map into an evocative graphic composition that combines scientific rigour and aesthetic sensibility. Made on black bookbinding canvas, the print first receives a deep black background, then an overprint of four additional colours that bring the lunar image to life. The final composition reveals a refined chromatic balance of silver grey, white and two soft shades of pink, highlighting the craters and textures of the lunar surface in a 100 × 100 cm format.

Both scientific and poetic, Carta della Luna exemplifies Munari's extraordinary ability to blend knowledge, design and visual experimentation into a single work. Its decorative and conceptual presence makes it ideal for enriching contemporary interiors: a perfect choice for the living room, a study, or any space that calls for a touch of visual culture and iconic design. The print is supplied complete with plastic hanging rods, ready to display without the need for additional accessories.
