A defining aspect of Tissi’s work is her playful approach, combined with a predilection for bold colour contrasts, typeface, and geometrical shapes. Her individual style has lost none of its originality and freshness in almost 60 years of design work, a feat which is celebrated in this first synopsis of her complete graphical oeuvre.
