Claudy Jongstra
Isbn 9789462083608
Publisher Nai010 Publishers
Idea code 17520
€ 49.95
Internationally acclaimed Dutch artist Claudy Jongstra creates visceral landscapes of texture and colour. These site specific and often monumental murals and sculptural installations have a strong connection with their physical space. Using a surprising range of natural materials and techniques, Jongstra’s distinctive approach involves a breathtaking inquiry into the mysteries of dye crops and natural pigments from which her intense nuances of colours are crafted. With deep connections with her surroundings as vital elements for the production of her work and sustainability at the center of her philosophy and working process, Jongstra is committed to the preservation and activation of natural and cultural heritage.

Best Dutch Book Designs 2016
Isbn 9789059654433
Publisher CPNB
Idea code 17482
€ 13.00
Thirty-three winners were chosen in this year’s selection of the best book designs coming out of the Netherlands. Each was picked by the five-person jury based on its own merits, and no rankings were given in the selection process or final presentation in this catalogue. For this reason the catalogue appears in 33 versions, each winner having its own section with an image of its cover on the first page. Moreover, the individual sections were all printed by different printers, to show respect for their involvement in a process that led to what can be considered the epitome of this year’s book production in the Netherlands. In short, an egalitarian, stylish, and truly exceptional book.

Vincent Sardon: The Stampographer
Isbn 9781938221163
Publisher Siglio
Idea code 17509
€ 34.60
Using rubber stamps he designs and manufactures himself, Sardon commandeers a medium often associated with petty and idiotic displays of bureaucratic power, then uses those stamps not to assert authority, but to refuse it. He scours the Parisian landscape as well as the world at large, skewering the power-hungry and the pretentious, reveling in the vulgar and profane. In 'The Stampographer', there are insults in multiple languages, sadomasochistic Christmas ornaments, and a miniature Kamasutra with an auto-erotic Jesus.

Typedesigner's Days & Graphic Designers' Days & Calligraphers' Days & Illustrators' Days
Isbn 9789082680607
Publisher Stichting Print
Idea code 17469
€ 29.50
The result of a collaborative project which gathered the talent and know-how of 366 Dutch typographers, graphic designers, calligraphers, and illustrators, plus a paper company, seven printers, two cardboard manufacturers, a producer of binding materials, and two bookbinders, ‘Days’ functions like a baroque calendar for graphic design freaks. The task was to design a spread in black-and-white and place the given date somewhere on the spread. With a different spread for each day of the year, the book’s series of illustrations and designs “reads” like a marathon of wildly divergent creative visions. Every month includes a comprehensive list of those responsible for each day.

Art Deco In Paris
Isbn 9789462621589
Publisher Uitgeverij De Kunst
Idea code 17531
€ 22.50
The emergence of Art Deco in France was a complex and fascinating process, in which couturier Paul Poiret played a key role. Poiret worked with many artists, architects, and photographers, including Raoul Dufy, Erté, Georges Lapape, Paul Iribe, Mallet-Stevens, and Man Ray. He surrounded himself with the work of Constantin Brancusi, Robert Delaunay, and Kees van Dongen, who was inspired by the extravagant parties Poiret gave. Poiret's creations and the artists in his circle provided the seed for French Art Deco.

Anja Lutz - Marginalia
Isbn 9783941644007
Publisher The Green Box
Idea code 17523
€ 30.10
'Marginalia' draws our attention towards the territory of the overseen elements coexisting in the realm of the book itself. Text and image content of several art books designed by Anja Lutz withdraw to let appear the non-descript details: the margins, the edges, the backgrounds, the spaces between the lines … Each book is unique in its choice of format, material, layout, and rhythm. The selected pages underwent a process of transformation in which with surgical precision Lutz dissects them, layer by layer, removing the vital parts and revealing their skeleton. The results are filigrane grids, fragments of images and traces of the layout that form intricately layered compositions of voids, exposing the hidden relations between the pages.

On Honest Design: The Design Works Collection Of Keiji Ashizawa
Isbn 9789869331586
Publisher Garden City
Idea code 17437
€ 25.05
Designer and architect Keiji Ashizawa is deeply influenced by the principles of 20th-century modernism, carrying on its spirit through user-friendly design in the everyday lives of people. Whether it be furniture or architectural design, his rational disassembling of objects into smaller elements reflects shared mutual spatial and structural concepts, despite differences in proportion and dimensions. Ashizawa combines the Arts and Crafts movement and the design-manufacture process of mass production in his quest for honest design, viewed through a 21st-century, neo-modernist lens. This book presents his prolific vision, from furniture and objects to interiors and homes.

What is design and what is design method? And how do we use design thinking in practice? The decades since the 1960s have seen an explosion in the development in design methods, and the domain of design has developed into an expanded field of practices. Ida Engholm and Nanna Norup’s incisive and humorous graphic guide provides a route through the historical development of design methods and gives an easy-to-read introduction to competing ideas in current design research debates. They present the essential ideas and methods of leading exponents within the field of design method studies and pay special attention to recurring themes and concerns of designers and design researchers within today’s increasing complexity contexts.
