Piet Zwart
Piet Zwart (; 28 May 1885 – 24 September 1977) was a Dutch photographer, typographer, and industrial designer. Biography Early life Piet Zwart was born on May 28, 1885 in Zaandijk. He trained as an architect, and began graphic design projects at age 36. His training as an architect included designing furniture and interiors.

In the early 1920s Zwart received his first typographic commissions from Laga, a flooring manufacturer.

Zwart regarded typography as an important cultural force of the 20th-century. Education Zwart attended the ''Rijksschool voor Kunstnijverheid Amsterdam'' (National School of Applied Arts, Amsterdam), which later merged into the ''Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor ...
