Tibor Kalman
(1949-1999)
Tibor Kalman founded the legendary, multidisciplinary design firm M&Co in 1979. In collaboration with his wife Maira, the conceptually progressive firm initially created graphics, magazines and film titles, and books. Following the release of a record album cover for the rock band Talking Heads, M&Co gained major attention for "pushing the envelope" on conventions of design and typography, and went on to become a major influence on emerging designers.
The Kalman's social concerns and reactions to contemporary attitudes resulted in products that are enjoyed internationally as they address contemporary issues, including time (5 o'clock really is the most important time for many of us) and garbage (crumpled paper can have a real nice look). Their quirky line of watches, clocks, and paperweights, which combine wit and whimsy with good graphic design, helped ignite the current demand for designer-created products.
