Summary:
Photographer, designer, architect and author on topics ranging from winter sports to the history of photography, Carlo Mollino (1905–1973) accomplished himself in a dizzying array of fields. The diversity and scale of his output often makes it seem somewhat daunting, but this volume coheres Mollino’s prolificness into an appetizing and eminently approachable whole, by examining it across five inventively themed chapters: “Choreography,” “Montage,” “Publications,” “Display” and “Appropriations.” “Choreography” looks at Mollino’s love of motion in his customizations of airplanes and racing cars and his designs for the Lutrario dance hall in Turin. The “Montage” chapter examines Mollino’s architectural photomontages and other uses of photography; “Publications” reproduces a wealth of Mollino first editions, magazine spreads and works on paper; “Display” reveals the influence of Surrealism on Mollino’s interior displays, and also includes his erotic Polaroids; and “Appropriation” looks at his photographs of interior décor.

Summary:
“Three men in a boat” was the name Giovanni Klaus Koenig in 1989 gave the group of young designers Jonathan De Pas, Donato D’Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi. The five-word title cleverly captured two distinctive features of the three men: the playfulness of their approach to design and their passion for sailing. Play and rules, rules and play: a rare approach by designers and one that this publication plays tribute to. A selection of iconic pieces shows the important contribution De Pas, D’Urbino and Lomazzi have made to Italian design both professionally and as regards research and experimentation.

Summary:
Kapitza is a multi-disciplinary design studio run by sisters Nicole and Petra Kapitza, who share a passion for print, pattern, nature, minimalism and colour. This second book project from the duo features 200 previously unpublished artworks using their new collection of custom-designed pattern fonts, rooted in their ongoing visual research and catalogue of photographs. Its inspiration derives from a “fascination with irregular arrangements, formations and shapes found in nature and man-made structures.” The results are intensely colourful, chaotic, tactile and, quite simply, psychedelic.

Summary:
Michel Amzalag et Mathias Augustyniak se rencontrent à l’École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (ENSAD) en 1989. Trois ans plus tard, ils fondent ensemble l’agence M/M (Paris). Cette monographie rassemble pour la première fois vingt ans de leurs projets, du livre à l’affiche de cinéma ou de théâtre, en passant par leurs travaux pour la mode (Yohji Yamamoto, Balenciaga, Givenchy), pour la musique (Benjamin Biolay, Björk, Madonna), par des collaborations avec le monde de l’art (Palais de Tokyo, Centre Pompido, Guggenheim), des objets design ou encore des installations urbaines. Toutes ces créations sont présentées en images et classées dans un ordre alphabétique bien particulier : de M, comme Michaël, à M, pour Mathias. Leurs proches collaborateurs sont invités à évoquer cette œuvre multiforme qu’ils connaissent bien, et sur laquelle leurs propos jettent un jour nouveau. Hans Ulrich Obrist signe la préface de l’ouvrage, Philippe Parreno un texte sur leurs projets communs. Des entretiens sont menés avec Björk, Benjamin Biolay, Nicolas Ghesquière, Pierre Huyghe, Inez van Lamsweerde et Vinoodh Matadin, Sarah Morris, Glenn O’Brien et Éric Vigner. Autant de témoignages sur les spécificités du travail de Michaël Amzalag et Mathias Augustyiniak qui, ensemble, dressent un panorama de l’évolution des champs artistiques depuis les années 1990.
