Famous Ordinary Things

Dabook 2017 ISBN 9788890383908 Acqn 27308
Pb 13x18cm 158pp 125ills 100col 18.50

'Famous Ordinary Things' is a tribute to modest objects developed within Swiss design culture.
"Famous" Swiss actors from the creative, artistic, or political field contributed to the book by
taking a snapshot of a design item from environment. The resulting images underline the
contemporary landscape of home and office interiors in Switzerland and remind us how these
objects impact our everyday lives. They present a beautiful kaleidoscopic voyage through
nostalgic and progressive visions, whereby the relationship between object and owner is filled
with anecdotes and irony. With contributions by Mario Botta, Olaf Breuning, Alain de Botton, Hans
Ulrich Obrist, and many others.

Hb 23x28cm 216pp 100col ills 45

In her foreword, Danish designer Astrid Krogh writes, My work is about creating landscapes.
Making new colours and reflecting intense light through space and across distances is the mtier
I explore with passion. She works with the artistic potentials found in modern materials and new
technologies, giving them new functional and decorative possibilities to create miraculous forms,
lights, and colours. Essential to Kroghs work is light, both natural and artificial, as well as the
interaction with the observers own movements and the sense of wonder or surprise that these
often subtle changes evoke. Richly illustrated, with contributions by Bradley Quinn, Emily Zilber,
and others.

In Need Of - Graduation 2016 Design Academy Eindhoven

Design Academy Eindhoven 2017 ISBN 9789491400278 Acqn 27242
Hb 24x34cm 480pp 350ills 250col 37.75

According to the introduction by Jurrinne Ossewold, Humanities and narratives are needed to
train and understand compassion, but compassion is about action, engagement. It is about
doing things, and in our case about creating and giving form to ideas based on a deep
understanding of what defines us as human beings. This notion of compassion thematically
frames design education as an optimistic counter-movement at the Design Academy Eindhoven,
which presents its full range of 171 graduating talents in this volume. Besides fifteen texts and
conversations, the book includes students work in the design fields of identity, contextual,
information, social, and more.

Tulip Pyramid - Copy And Identity

Design Academy Eindhoven 2017 no ISBN Acqn 27243
Pb 17x30cm 82pp 65ills 45col 16.50

This publication is the first in a new series that seeks to engage a broader audience with excellent
design research, and is part of the Design Academy Eindhovens Dialogue programme. Jing He
is frequently asked whether her work reflects her Chinese identity, or in what way it differs from
other nationalities. Like other Chinese designers, she is anxious about her identity, and aims for a
design methodology inspired by the practice of copying Chinese culture. In examining the
historical, political, cultural, and economic reasons behind this phenomenon, she finds that it is
rooted in a long history of cultural exchange, of borrowing and transformation in short, design
hybrids.
