This definitive book brings it all back, but from the standpoint of serious artists, designers and anyone else interested in the origins of visual phenomena. With his figure and stereo experiments, author Jurg Nänni guides the reader through the mysterious cosmos of visual perception. The included eyeglasses allow exceptional optical experiences, complemented by interactive experiments on the included CD-ROM. Texts, visual examples and CD-experiments allow readers to acquire the background information for their own creative work, and to answer the questions: How do optical illusions emerge? And how can our eyes be fooled at all?

Summary:
The links between contemporary design, history and the imagination form the background for this beautiful and unprecedented exploration of Design Art. Addressing works by designers including Jurgen Bey, Tord Boontje, Dunne + Raby and Studio Job, Gareth Williams explores how overtly functional objects - 'designed' objects - can be made to carry meanings and associations, or tell tales. As contemporary design practice, the art market and art itself become more and more integrated, reflecting the merging of art, craft and design, this exciting book offers a valuable and perceptive assessment of our ability to read Design Art objects with the critical tools traditionally associated with painting, sculpture and literary theory.

Working with ordinary, everyday, practical, seemingly design(er)less objects has been Franco Clivio’s obsession both as a university lecturer and as a practicing designer. Each object in the collection stands for an unconventional, unconstrained, and sometimes unique solution to a problem that is often simple but always fundamental; fundamental in the sense of a design that places less emphasis on good form than on perfect function.
