Paola Lenti: weaving spaces
$70.00
(available in store)
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:
In every segment of retail, countless products compete for our attention. Whether fashion, cosmetics, furnishings, accessories, or gourmet food, the range of goods is overwhelming. Designers and manufacturers are faced with the daunting challenge of setting their products apart to reach their target audiences. The best ones captivate us by telling fascinating stories or creating compelling retail spaces and experiences. The Still Life compiles striking editorial photography, innovative shop window displays, and intelligent visual merchandising that succeed in doing exactly that. The featured work is created by imaginative stylists and photographers who arrange products, objects, and materials in unusual ways. Distinctive worlds of images result that are reminiscent of Baroque and Renaissance still life paintings in which arrangements of flowers, fruit, musical instruments, and other objects were used as powerful allegories for various aspects of life and death. Today's creatives are developing new visual storytelling techniques for engaging customers. The Still Life showcases their entire spectrum. The book illustrates how a combination of quality handcraft and inspired flair are being used to put familiar products, such as gardening tools, cutlery, purses, writing implements, or jewelry, into surprising new contexts, ranging from minimalistic understatement to opulent glamour.
