Tejo Remy & Rene Veenhuizen: The World Our Toolkit
Isbn 9789462261532
Publisher Lecturis
Idea code 16073
€ 32.50
Atelier Remy & Veenhuizen was formed in 2000, though the individual designers have been active since the 1990s, when “Dutch Design” exploded on the international scene. Although the two have different backgrounds, in their current practice neither is able or willing to distinguish who has contributed what to a specific design. This book explores their design process through well-known commissioned works and independent projects, framing their current practice in terms of compromise, freedom of materials, and the liberties they often take with assignments. An interview with the two designers forms a thread that weaves its way through the book’s many illustrated pages.

Publisher Atopos
Idea code 16031

It juxtaposes modern creations with paper garments from various cultures, analysing the history of paper and paper-like materials in relation to fashion, art, and design through creators like Anna Piaggi, John Galliano, Hussein Chalayan, Issey Miyake, Andy Warhol, Jackie Nickerson, Robert Wilson, Kosuke Tsumura, and many more. Essays by specialists address the various aspects of this humble material, and inside is a CD of ‘Paperdelic’ (2006) by Yannis Kyriakides.

Subjective Atlas From Colombia
Isbn 9789585898776
Publisher Subjective Editions
Idea code 16059
€ 19.50
As a whole, the works compiled in this volume constitute an unconscious autobiography of Colombia’s current aspirations and fears. They reveal that the nation is at a crossroads in terms of its cultural identity, caught between socio-political commitment and poetic escape, and offer tools to engender both economic and cultural ideas and prejudices. Over 60 artists and designers form a map that traces, challenges, and vindicates what it means to live in Colombia, embodying its contemporary historical memory. The initiative was conceived by Hugo Herrera Tobón, Moniek Driesse, and Annelys de Vet to further encourage a discussion of the nation’s complex cultural identity.

Fedja Vukic: The Other Design History
Isbn 9789537703288
Publisher Upi-2m Books
Idea code 15769
€ 20.45
Professor at the Graduate School of Design, University of Zagreb, Fedja Vukić undertakes an investigative journey through the theory and criticism surrounding industrial production in the context of the mass market. Starting from the notions of design history in the United Kingdom and design studies in the United States since the mid-1980s onwards, he argues that these are an important component of a much broader history of industrialisation. In doing so, Vukić proposes that, in the Croatian context, this history could be differentiated by distinguishing the terms “form-giving” and “design” – in short, aestheticism in production versus the environment of production.

From Design To Design: Masaaki Hiromura
Isbn 9784903348476
Publisher Adp
Idea code 16015
€ 29.45
Based on an exhibition of Masaaki Hiromura’s personal repertoire as a designer and architect, this handsome volume offers insight into his design process and the thought that goes into a design. He addresses questions of whether new designs are of added value, or if such a design is necessary, and thereby also considers the negative aspects and potential drawbacks. It features numerous works and projects on every scale by Hiromura in its analysis, from wayfinding, signage, and labels, to domestic objects and entire interior design schemes. Richly supplemented with his own writings on the nature of design, the book includes an in-depth interview with the architect.

Paul Derrez 1975-2015 Jewellery & Objects
Isbn
Publisher Galerie Ra
Idea code 16010
€ 25.00
Jewellery maker Paul Derrez designed his first pieces in 1975, while interning as part of his goldsmith training at the Schoonhoven Vocational School in the Netherlands. In 1976, he opened Galerie Ra, and has since produced a large body of jewellery and objects, presented in this book as a virtually complete survey of his work. Colourful, whimsical, and idiosyncratic in form, the objects Derrez creates are a reflection of the craftsman and artist himself. Filled with illustrations and personal explanations, the book includes both his acclaimed and less well-known pieces, offering insight into his underlying interests and motives, as well as the relationship of his work to the spirit of the times.
