Whole - Freudenthal / Verhagen
Isbn 9789082543902
Publisher Freudenthal / Verhagen
Idea code 16474
€ 4.00
Dutch photographers Carmen Freudenthal and Elle Verhagen began their collaboration in 1989. Their approach is based on fashion photography combined with strong visual concepts. A collaboration between designer and art director Karen Heuter and Freudenthal/Verhagen, this book includes material spanning the duo’s entire body of work. It is a journey into a surreal, colourful, and unorthodox universe, which is presented in an alternative way. Each image is decontextualised from the original series and chronology to which it belongs, and is instead arranged depending upon colour. With texts by Erik Kessels, Berhard Willhelm, Mo Veld, and José Theunissen.

Parliament
Isbn 9789090297644
Publisher Xml
Idea code 16375
€ 25.00
Amsterdam-based office XML explores the complex relationship between space and politics by documenting and comparing the plenary halls of the parliaments of all 193 United Nations member states. Whether arranged in a semicircle or horseshoe, as opposing benches or classroom style, the seats in these halls not only offer clues to a nation’s history, but also the atmosphere in which its laws are shaped. Comparing contexts between divergent geographical locations and governments, both democratic and authoritarian, the lexicon addresses these spaces as more than symbolic representations of national values, portraying them as actors in the shaping of our shared future.

1:1:1 Documentaries In Print By Niessen & De Vries
Isbn 9789082137743
Publisher Niessen & De Vries
Idea code 16459
€ 32.00
All nine issues of 1:1:1 gathered in one volume. Initiated by graphic designers Richard Niessen and Esther de Vries, the series explores forms of expression in design and offset printing. The starting point for each issue is an interview with an artist or designer that focuses on the representation of his or her work. Eylem Aladogan, Metahaven, David Jablonowski, and Melanie Bonajo are among those who were selected to participate. Rather than strive for maximum legibility or a perfect reproduction, Niessen & de Vries transformed each issue into a distinct portrait. An essay by Els Kuijpers examines communicative design in the broader context of the production of meaning.

Oomph - The Women Who Made Sweden Colorful
Isbn 9789188031341
Publisher Art And Theory Publishing
Idea code 16365
€ 29.70
'Oomph' is a book about the women who brought on a revolution in Swedish kitchens, linen closets, living rooms, and in the country's textile and fashion industries. With their work in glass, textiles, and ceramics, and their radical ideas about the future of domestic life, they put Sweden on the industrial design map in the middle of the twentieth century. Many women designers were engaged in the increasingly acute housing crisis, and questioned the way homes were traditionally designed. After the Second World War, new manufacturing opportunities emerged: new customs demanded new designs and materials. But many doors still remained closed to women designers.

This is the first major retrospective of Terence Donovan (1936 - 1996) one of the foremost photographers of his generation. Donovan rose to prominence in London as part of a post- war renaissance of the creative industries and came to represent a new force in fashion and, later, advertising and portrait photography. He operated at the heart of London’s swinging sixties, socialising with and incisively capturing the scene’s chief protagonists and actors. Gifted with an unerring eye for the iconic, Donovan was a master craftsman commanding both the technical and compositional to redefine studio photography.

Utsuwa Katachi: Japanese Ceramics And Forms
Isbn 9784903348483
Publisher Adp
Idea code 16418
€ 27.15
The Japanese world utsuwa literally means “vessel” or “container”, and commonly refers to any kind of cup, plate, dish, or pot. Unlike mass-produced crockery, the spontaneous ceramic form is momentary and fleeting, with an unparalleled warmth and aesthetic pleasure. This art form emerges from the particular clay or raw material used, the thickness and flow of the glaze, and the condition of the kiln. An individual piece depends on the distinct balance between all of these factors, and each piece is one-of-a-kind; encounters with utsuwa are said to be once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This book features gorgeously photographed pieces by a selection of specialised ceramists.
