Summary:
“This book describes the interweaving of colours that mix with the principles of perspective, of form that interacts with the eye, of light that blends with the shades of materials. But above all it describes a design, a project made of the stuff of dreams, in which skilled hands have given geometric precision, shape, proportion, concrete essence to the visible.”

Récit de l’histoire du jouet français depuis son berceau, le Jura, cet ouvrage nous rappelle des jouets et des marques fétiches de notre enfance. Retraçant l’émergence, et le développement incroyable d’une industrie qui a indéniablement marqué l’histoire du jouet français, c’est aussi tout un état d’esprit d’entreprise Hautjurassien qui est mis en valeur. Encouragé par des ressources hydrauliques et sylvicoles abondantes, le Jura développera pendant de nombreux siècles une tradition de travail du bois dont les jouets deviendront un des modes d’expression privilégié. Les hochets, les jouets d’adresse (yoyo, osselets, billes...) et les poupées feront partie des premiers objets. Leurs fonctions seront d’éveiller et d’amuser l’enfant, et de le préparer au passage vers l’âge adulte.

Summary:
"1968: Radical Italian Design", the newest project from Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari's Toilet Paper in collaboration with the Deste Foundation in Athens, offers an unorthodox, kaleidoscopic walk through the Dakis Joannou collection of Italian Radical Design furniture. Led by avant-garde design firms such as Archizoom, Superstudio, Global Tools and 9999, Radical Design was firmly opposed to the ethics, and indeed the very notion of, "good design" or taste. Toilet Paper's bold, mischievous interpretation of Joannou's collection results in delightful, high-contrast photographs that merge the seductive lines of Radical Design furniture and objects with the curves of the modern-day nymphs cavorting among them. Published as a board book, and named after a year that was pivotal for architecture and design (and, of course, the world at large), "1968" is a collection of dreams and nightmares, an inspiring, eye-popping compendium of colorful, ironic objects and bodies. At once charmingly retro and alarmingly surreal, 1968 includes drawings by one of the Radical Design movement's foremost architects, Alessandro Mendini.
