Summary:
This book examines Dutch commemorative coins which will continue to be minted, despite the introduction of the Euro. In a lyrical article, Gert Staal explores the sentimental and symbolical significance of coins. The results of a workshop ‘Design by the mm3’, in which eleven artist/designers took part, is discussed in an article by Lilet Breddels and presented in numerous illustrations. Gerard Unger subverts his own specialization in typography by arguing that artists are perfectly capable of creating their own lettering for coin designs. Hans Jacobi, keeper of the Koninklijke Penningen Kabinet (Royal Coins Cabinet) in Leiden, throws light on the vicissitudes of Dutch coin design during the last twenty years. In an epilogue, Janwillem Schrofer, a member of the Advisory Commission for New Coinage and the president of the Rijksakademie, Amsterdam, presents his outlook on the importance of good coin design.

Founded in 1987, the design collection of the Museum of Design Zurich now has more than 15,000 exhibits, 20,000 examples of packaging and the Archive for Swiss Design and is the first and most comprehensive of its type in Switzerland. "Take away" is the first in a series of publications which presents treasures from the collection on a specific theme. Like the exhibition of the same name, the focus here is the contentious world of items used in mobile food culture: stacking plates, paper cups, pizza boxes, picnic baskets as well as things like mini toothbrushes, folding furniture and much more. This book shows just how much mobile eating shapes our lives, with all its advantages and disadvantages. Not only has it changed what we eat, but also how, where and what we use to eat. Whether fast food, take away, system gastronomy or convenience food.

Summary:
This publication studies methods for creating flexible looks for public and cultural institutions. The classic logos normally used by companies are the result of a unique process of compression and abstraction. By contrast, flexible looks do not conceal their diverse components of identity in a logo, forming instead a complex family of symbols from them. In the combination of a basic logo and a family of symbols, the look is in a position to represent the fundamentals (the philosophy of the institution, its program) and the specifics (e.g., temporary exhibitions and events). The author describes the effect and potential of looks and offers the criteria that distinguish fully developed, dynamic looks. Case studies of famous designers such as Karl Gerstner and Ruedi Baur enhance the analysis.

This book explores the effect that generations of trial and error, individual craftsmanship and an instinct to carve out the essential with the slenderest of means brought to objects that made life both livable and meaningful to a pre-industrial society. The objects photographed and described by designer Jasper Morrison may be appreciated both for their beauty and for the example they set of design at its purest. 'The Hard Life' is a continuation of Morrison’s celebration of the ordinary and offers a new perspective on his design philosophy. It’s an homage to the beauty of ancient commodities.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage, consacré au jeune designer Amaury Poudray, s’articule autour de questions concrètes que pose une pratique d’un design raisonné à nos sociétés contemporaines. Rencontres, concept, fabrique et échanges ponctuent ce livre témoin du parcours d’un jeune créateur en prise directe avec les doutes et les interrogations de son temps. Les œuvres produites résultent d’une tension assumée entre forme et fonction, entre savoir-faire et innovation ; la notion de processus expérimental domine ici dans l’acte créateur. Une certaine doctrine de l’action et du déplacement, une immersion dans le domaine technique à tous les stades de l’élaboration mêlées à une éthique de la décroissance sont des éléments caractéristiques du style Poudray qui ne peut s’appréhender que dans la prise en compte de la notion de « networks » et du « Y » dont il a fait son logotype. Réseaux, rhizomes et filets sont autant d’images pour signifier et caractériser ce travail et exprimer les points de vue à la fois structurels, économiques, sociaux et esthétiques à l’œuvre chez Amaury Poudray. Le livre est conçu lui-même comme une expérience proposée au lecteur par sa forme et ses contenus. Une quinzaine d’œuvres sont présentées et discutées. Marie Pok, directrice du Grand Hornu, propose une réflexion critique sur le travail d’Amaury Poudray en prise avec la société contemporaine. Les autres textes — sous la forme d’entretiens avec le designer lui-même et quelques-uns de ses partenaires (fabricants, entrepreneurs, galeristes, éditeurs…) — sont les traces et l’empreinte de ce réseau en action. Il regroupe des dessins préparatoires et des croquis, des photographies de création (Laure Mélone) et des documents.
