Philippe Weisbecker - Japanese Folk Toys

Seigensha Art Publishing 2019 ISBN 9784861527074 Acqn 29542
Pb 15x21cm 248pp col ills £25

The traditional folk toys of Japan are simple dolls and figurines made from clay, wood, and paper.
Known as 'kyodo gangu', the delightful little animals and other fanciful creatures used to be given
to children to play with, but today these objects have become more coveted by collectors than by
young people. Philippe Weisbecker, an artist and illustrator, went in search of Japanese folk toys,
learning the craftmanship behind them in traditional workshops. The book includes a page by
page reproduction of the author's notebook, in which he sketched and documented objects he
discovered and places he visited, and recorded descriptions and personal reflections during his
travels in Japan.

Rosmarie Tissi - Graphic Design

Triest Verlag 2019 ISBN 9783038630340 Acqn 29455
Pb 12x25cm 128pp col ills £44.50

The designs of acclaimed Swiss graphic designer Rosmarie Tissi are characterised by an
objectively clear yet undogmatic style. A defining aspect of Tissi's work is her playful approach,
combined with a predilection for bold colour contrasts, typeface, and geometrical shapes. Her
individual style has lost none of its originality and freshness in almost 60 years of design work, a
feat which is celebrated in this first synopsis of her complete graphical oeuvre. Covering a host of
magazines, logos, corporate images, headline fonts, advertisements, packaging, and more, it
rediscovers Tissi's achievements, unparalleled among female Swiss graphic designers of her
generation.

Hermann Eidenbenz - Teaching Graphic Design. Documents 1926-1955

Triest Verlag 2019 ISBN 9783038630364 Acqn 29513
Pb 16x24cm 168pp col ills £28

Hermann Eidenbenz (1902-1993) was one of the first people in Switzerland to describe himself
as a graphic designer. From the first half of the 20th century into the 1950s, he was involved in
graphic design education in Zurich, Magdeburg, Basel, and Brunswick, first as a student and later
as a teacher. The didactic material from Eidenbenz's time as a teacher of graphic design
published here throws light on this discipline at a time before graphic design in Switzerland had
achieved international recognition.

Seymour Chwast - The Man In The Moon

Corraini Editore 2018 ISBN 9788875707651 Acqn 29568
Hb 22x28cm 32pp col ills £24

Bamboo Island is divided in half between two peoples: to the north live the Biddles, fruit growers,
and to the south the Rattles, expert bakers. But when the island is hit by earthquakes and
tornadoes, they are ready to blame each other and become bitter enemies, eventually deploying
their armies. The soldiers face off and the clash seems imminent: fortunately, the Man in the
Moon sees everything from his place in the starry sky and has the perfect recipe to avoid war: will
a fruit pie be enough to restore peace?

Bob Gill - Dogs Are Just Like Us

Corraini Editore 2018 ISBN 9788875707316 Acqn 28978
Hb 21x27cm 32pp col ills £23.50

Man's best friends and faithful companions of life, dogs have many things in common with men
and share ways of doing and being, so as to behave sometimes just like their masters. They also
enjoy playing, they are curious to discover new things and it's easy to understand if they are
happy or sad, shy or nervous. But observing them for a long time, sitting on a park bench, leads
us to reflect on the great difference that distinguishes them from us and makes them so good.

Pb 20x25cm 200pp col ills £39.95

Switzerland's first dedicated research design journal, 'Raddar' aims to strike a balance between

"function" with a range of approaches in various analyses, case studies, and contributions from
Roberto Casati, Anna-Maria Meister, and more. The journal's cover is also a creative work in its
own right, designed this time by Formafantasma, the Amsterdam-based studio headed by Andrea
Trimarchi and Simone Farresin. Carefully folded and perforated, it is divided into partitions that
point to the possibility of cutting the paper into different segments and thereby providing a variety
of possibilities.

The Print Of Beauty

Aalto University 2019 ISBN 9789526083940 Acqn 29646
Hb 23x29cm 168pp col ills £47

Pasi Rabina has worked for over 30 years in Finland as a costume designer for the stage. A
stage costume is designed intentionally, focusing and framing the identity of a person, but it must
also corroborate the performance content. Stage costumes may deceive spectators, and painted,
printed, and dyed costumes enable us to examine their illusion as a mood from a certain era,
style, or costume. This volume presents modern, up-to-date working methods and techniques in
creating unique fabrics. Its objective is to add and share knowledge of the possibilities offered by
printing and dyeing fabrics, and to develop these techniques to meet current needs within the
performative arts.
