The Adler Collection of Soviet Children's Books 1930-1933 Two Architects in the Land of the Soviets
Isbn 9788875709747
Publisher Corraini Edizioni
Idea code 21745
€ 60.65
For years, a battered, brown leather suitcase sat in a loft. It contained a treasure trove: more than 250 children’s books from the Soviet Union, most in Russian, but with some in Ukrainian and even a few in Yiddish, almost all published between 1930 and 1933. The collection reveals aspects of the early USSR after the October Revolution and the central role of children’s literature in Soviet culture. Among the stories designed to educate new young citizens are rare editions by Vladimir Lebedev, Vera Ermolaeva, and Aleksandr Dejneka, as well as a remarkable group of Ukrainian books, until now considered as undiscovered areas for even the most dedicated researchers.

Cross Cultural Chairs
Isbn 9789083350103
Publisher Set Margins'
Idea code 21599
€ 25.00
The anatomy of our bodies requires sitting; but do we design seats in the same way? Has our meaning of sitting been colonised by Modern design? And how is the diverse, social-cultural act of sitting itself reflected in this functional commodity? In observing and analysing social and cultural differences through chairs from eight cultures in the most populated countries, Sicilian designer Matteo Guarnaccia went on a field research to portray each country, in collaboration with selected local design studios, to situate each cultural context into the form of a chair.

A Bestiary of the Anthropocene
Isbn 9789083318844
Publisher Set Margins'
Idea code 21600
€ 27.70
Equally inspired by medieval bestiaries and observations of our damaged planet, 'A Bestiary of the Anthropocene' is a compilation of hybrid creatures of our time. Designed as a field handbook, it aims at helping us observe, navigate, and orientate in the increasingly artificial fabric of the world. Plastiglomerates, surveillance robot dogs, fordite, artificial grass, antenna trees, Sars-Covid-2, decapitated mountains, drone-fighting eagles, standardised bananas… each of these specimens are symptomatic of the rapidly transforming “post-natural” era we live in. Often without us even noticing them, these creatures exponentially spread and co-exist with us.

Publisher Codex Foundation
Idea code 21723
€ 77.35
Published in conjunction with an exhibition at Stanford University Libraries and the Boston Athenaeum, this volume shows how contemporary artists’ books integrate concept, materials, and technique in a way that allows “high craft” to converge with “high concept” and result in a “book art object”. The selection appears as part of an archival enterprise geared towards a cultural record of this moment in which we live. Each artists’ book has been diligently presented on the initiative of the CODEX Foundation, which aims to preserve and promote the handmade book as a work of art, bringing public recognition to the artists, craftsmanship, and rich history of the civilisation of the book.

Raddar 3: Politics
Isbn 9791095513131
Publisher T&P Publishing
Idea code
€ 2.00
From universalism to colonial politics, from a close observation of co-approaches hoping to instigate change to the exotic and exploitative thoughts of designers themselves, the contents of this issue of ‘RADDAR’ share a critical stance in their examination from specific angles and subjects. Yet they also avoid taking a traditional approach, aiming to shed light on the underlying aspects. Encompassing historical Indochina, contemporary Lebanon, African and American odysseys, inclusive imaginary typographics, multinational practices, and more, its scope invites readers to explore other dimensions for critical study. Design politics seeks to move beyond the separation of design and politics, because all design activity is inherently also political activity.

Graduation 2021 Design Academy Eindhoven
Isbn 9789491400476
Publisher Design Academy Eindhoven
Idea code 21614
€ 39.00
Inviting you to browse through the themes, materials, and methodologies of this year’s 166 graduation projects, the 2021 graduation catalogue of the Design Academy Eindhoven presents four navigational indexes. Each is a symbolic index of both the design field and our times. To understand “reality” as an index, it should be noted that the word “index” does not only refer to an ordered list or directory. After all, it is also the finger used to point, notably at touchscreens. So rather than providing an overarching narrative, the indexes here (standard index, visual index, word frequency index, project index) are tools to explore how different readings and realities emerge by design.

Publisher Tankosha
Idea code 21742

Beginning with the heart, each chapter reveals a distinct aspect of tea, its tradition, function, and ceremony, from the different types of tea and tea utensils, to aspects of the tearoom and tea garden, the formal elements of the ceremony, and seasonal influences. The book also includes a glossary of supplementary information about its photographs and a calendar of tea tastings and events.

Ode To Construction - Abstraction In The Dgital Age
Isbn 9789493148352
Publisher Onomatopee
Idea code 21719
€ 25.00
Ode to Construction – Abstraction in the Digital Age explores the intersections of graphic design and art through the means of generative code, gesturing playfully and melancholically towards the foundational legacies of the Suprematist and Constructivist movements of the early 20th century. At once a book, website, and exhibition, Ode to Construction demonstrates the fluidity of design’s materializations within the conditions of the digital, moving effortlessly between screen, print, and space. By reanimating the formal strategies of modernist abstraction, graphic designer Polina Joffe probes the technical and social registers of design today.

Vesper 5: Moby Dick
Isbn 9788822907141
Publisher Quodlibet
Idea code 21699
€ 19.35
Published in 1851, Herman Melville’s famous seafaring narrative serves as a manifesto of motions and actions such as challenge, obsession, adventure, and failure. As such, it inspires the theme of this issue, “frontier research” – a mode of investigation literally positioned at the extremes of knowledge, at the edge of what is known. Working at the edges means tackling controversial issues which are difficult to reconcile with established methodologies. It aims to refute dominant paradigms, which means working with a high degree of uncertainty and failure. To search for the white whale is to swim against the tide, to see beyond or pursue other ways of seeing, and to challenge oneself.
