Summary:
Ciccì Coccò is one of the first and rare books for children where photography is used. It may be because of this that Munari was so happy to write the captions and rhymes to go with these poignant pictures taken by Enzo Arnone between the 1970’s and 80’s.

Price:

(available to order)
Summary:
The volume, realized in co-operation with the Vitra Design Museum is both the catalogue of an internationally travelling exhibition and one of the first monographical studies entirely devoted to the subject of children’s games and furniture. Furniture and games for children, irrespective of culture or period, can be perceived as vehicles for communicating society’s attitudes towards learning, the child’s physical and phychological development, safety, order in the family, territory, the place of play and patterns of social behaviour; although the child, by contrast, regards them as largely interchangeable objects in the serious work of play, the organization of modern society tends to give them always more importance, changing them into real products of design. The volume aims to explore the world of childhood throughout the different types of furniture artefacts and games from various periods and cultures in the world which illuminate the changing relationship between children and adults, the growing attention to child-centred provision and educational values and the fundamental role of playing in the history of childhood of different countries. The catalogue essays are written by chilhood specialists, social historians, ethnologists, educationalists, industrials designers (specialist in playground and play equipment) and experts on children living in the various cultures of the world: Lucy Bullivant, Mike Scaife, Linda Pollock, Eileen Adams, Günter Beltzig, Ingeborg Weber-Kellermann, Gerhard Kubik, Tina Wodiung and Sally Kevill-Davies.

Welcome to the world of Big Bear Hug, a contemporary fable about a bear who has an appetite for hugging everything in sight - even creatures that bears have been known to eat. One day, the benevolent bear meets up with a human. This human proceeds to do something the bear cannot understand: he raises his axe and begins to cut down a tree. Suddenly the bear doesn't feel like hugging anymore and must make a difficult decision on how to stop this destruction in his forest. The environmental message of Big Bear Hug is both funny and powerful, while simple enough to engage very young children and show them the awesome power of a hug.

The poor fishermen are desperate, till a frightening storm will abandon a big, big fish on the beach: onec more the nature has won... Aoi Huber-Kono writes and draws a tender and fascinating story, where the soft and winding stroke and non-conventional use of colours create a mysterious and bewitching atmosphere. The creative make-up by Max Huber, inspired by calligrammes, follows the waves’ rythm, the spaces and moves suggested by drawings, and generates emotions in the reader. “Il grande pesce”, published for the first time in 1968, it’s a book that continues to talk and touch contemporary children and adults.

It is a place for looking and making, and for making and looking, constructed with 688 aluminum pieces modeled, flattened, cut, folded, prefabricated, shipped, and then assembled onsite. It is made to be taken down and reassembled elsewhere. It is designed to be easily understood, made of simple building elements: a long, low roof with columns and stacked beams holding it up. Undertaken during various design workshops, single page design exercises written by architects were assembled into a large book and given to children. "A Book on Making a Petite École" features an expanded collection of these exercises. Each exercise includes playful illustrations of its steps, starting a conversation about how designers look at, think about, teach, and imagine the foundations of design.
