Bruno Monguzzi (1941) is a Swiss graphic designer. He moved to Geneva with his family and attended the Graphic Design Course at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs.
In 1960 he traveled to London and attended Gestalt psychology, typography and photography courses at Saint Martin's School of Art and the London College of Printing (now the London College of Communication).
After working with Dennis Bailey in London moved to Milan in 1961 to join the Studio Boggeri – at the time the leading design and advertising agency in Italy. In 1965 he was called to join the Charles Gagnon and James Volkus office in Montreal, to design nine pavilions for Expo 67.
From the early seventies, he worked independently from his atelier in Meride, a secluded village in the South of Switzerland.
He received the Premio Bodoni in 1971, the Gold Medal from the New York Art Directors Club in 1990, the Yusaku Kamekura Award and the Gold Medal at the Toyama Biennial in 2000.
From 1986 to 1991, Monguzzi served as an art consultant to the architecture and design magazine Abitare, published in Milan. Monguzzi’s work on the graphic identity and visual communications program for the Musée de Orsay in Paris (1986) led to his work for the Museo Cantonale d’Arte. Monguzzi’s work on visual communication materials for the Museo Cantonale d’Arte continued into the first years of the 21st century and is regarded as among the chief achievements of his career.
In 2003 he was awarded the distinction Honorary Royal Designer for Industry (by the Royal Society of Arts, London).
