Design junkies could soon get their hands on a reissue of Italian designer Fortunato Depero’s 1927 Futurist cult classic, Depero Futurista—widely known as “The Bolted Book.” Today, the website Designers & Books launched a Kickstarter campaign to publish a new facsimile edition of the Futurist masterpiece in collaboration with the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto (MART) in Italy, and the Center for Italian Modern Art (CIMA) in New York.
