Résumé:
Since 1988, Frankfurt-based artist Karsten Bott has been collecting everyday objects--often discarded--and cataloguing them. Currently, his archive contains an unbelievable 500,000 objects. Bott is interested in making an archaeological inventory of things people need, noting how they use them and how these objects are related to one another. For One of Each, which is designed like a small dictionary or encyclopedia, he photographed more than 2,000 objects in his collection, which were carefully measured and alphabetically organized according to subjects such as "Bedroom", "Jewelry", "Sex" and "War". Within the "Film" category, for example, one might find a photograph of an Oscar award reproduction, as well as an old popcorn bucket. The photographs of the objects are taken in an unbiased, straightforward manner on a grey background, with dimensions and labels listed below.

Finally, a book that shows iconic modern furniture in real (read: lived-in) home environments, rather than sterile, I-don’t-believe- someone-actually-lives-here situations! This catalog from design giant Vitra Inc. is used as a marketing tool for furniture sales, and it’s beautifully persuasive, proving that these classic pieces of design can work in the real world. Put an Eames lounge chair in front of a disheveled pile of records, a Nelson sunburst clock over a platter of leeks and carrots, or a Panton plastic chair at the bottom of a swimming pool with enthusiastic children using it for a diving platform – you’ll understand that fine design works anywhere. Just ask the black and white kitty curled up in the Nelson Coconut Chair. A handsome full-color volume.

Résumé:
The Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne (ECAL) has evolved from a regional school into an internationally renowned institution. This success story owes much to ECAL director Pierre Keller, but there is also a diverse team of instructors and students, whose work--much of which is quite well known--is showcased in this volume. Invaluable for any instructor in the field of design, the teaching principles that have led to ECAL's rise are documented, along with accounts of its subsequent successes. Today ECAL is at the top of the international game in graphic design, photography and, especially, industrial design. ECAL frequently garners commissions from museums and companies like Christofle, Swarovski, Nestle and Coca-Cola and has been included in numerous exhibitions and publications. In addition to staff and students, key players in the world of design and criticism, such as Paola Antonelli, Stephen Shore, Rolf Fehlbaum, Paolo Roversi, Ronan Bouroullec and Fernando and Humberto Company contribute a professional perspective.

Résumé:
This book presents objects from the 21st Century by Spanish designers of the 21st century. This publication is motivated by the conviction that the concept of the object, as such, has been left behind. The universe of objects, or perhaps we would have to say of "offjects," put forward here is that of the work of those generation that graduated after the Barcelona Olympics: from 1992 into these first few years of the 21st century. What seems clear is that the classic definition of "design" has been rendered obsolete. In the first place because an object's conceptual and narrative charge largely determines its material and physical configuration, and in second place, because many present-day pieces are not produced industrially - some because their designers chose not to, others because they seem not to fit into excessively conservative industrial set-ups. What does seem to be the case is that we are dealing with a new typology of designer, more open, more multidisciplinary and more remote from the traditional commercial circuit, which is not to say remote from the market.
