Résumé:
This book is a timely and engaging introduction to the way that artists working in all media think about craft. Workmanship is key to today's visual arts, when high 'production values' are becoming increasingly commonplace. Yet craft's centrality to contemporary art has received little serious attention from critics and historians. Dispensing with clichéd arguments that craft is art, Adamson persuasively makes a case for defining craft in a more nuanced fashion. The interesting thing about craft, he argues, is that it is perceived to be 'inferior' to art. The book consist of an overview of various aspects of this second-class identity, supplementarity, sensuality, skill, the pastoral, and the amateur. It also provides historical case studies analyzing craft's role in a variety of disciplines, including architecture, design, contemporary art, and the crafts themselves. Thinking through Craft will be essential reading for anyone interested in craft or broader visual art.

Résumé:
Dutch design is held in high esteem around the world. Its favourable international reputation is based on the work of many designers including Jurgen Bey, Hella Jongerius and Maarten Baas, who all have one thing in common: Design Academy Eindhoven. Design Academy Eindhoven is the Netherlands leading institution for developing design talent and it has produced a veritable who's who of the country's creative scene. The final projects of its graduates often attract international attention; their annual presentation has become a must-see for innovative companies, brands and designers from around the world. House of Concepts presents the legendary school that was founded as the Academy for Industrial Design Eindhoven sixty years ago. It contains outstanding original work created in a top-quality educational environment that emphasises practical skills rather than theory. The book not only features Design Academy Eindhoven graduates and their work, but also gives insight into the conceptual design for which the Netherlands is famous. House of Concepts also includes extensive interviews with renowned alumni such as Jurgen Bey, Richard Hutten, Joris Laarman and Judith de Grauw as well as Jeroen and Joep Verhoeven.

Résumé:
This small-format volume presents more than 200 furniture and objects made between 1981 and 1986 for the Memphis collection. Memphis was an Italian design and architecture collective founded by Ettore Sottsass, a leading exponent of 1980s postmodernism. It was the outcome of a long process that began at the Olivetti company in Ivrea, where Sottsass had been the design coordinator since the late 1950s, and continued with the research of the radical architecture movements of the 1960s and 1970s, in Florence and Europe. The publication documents the eponymous 2022 Milan exhibition on the group, for which Memphis works were dynamically installed in chronological order in the style of a fashion show, with quotes by critics, architects and designers projected on the walls.

Résumé:
Published in conjunction with the "metalworks – designing & making" exhibition in the Konschthal Esch, this book uses the production of some twenty international creators to discuss methods of transforming metal in contemporary design. Around forty objects have been classified into sixteen categories, illustrating how these creators have adopted and crafted metal. Some experiment with the material and its properties, others question the physical limits of existing techniques. Accompanied by a historical text recounting the uses of metal in furniture since the eighteenth century, and the history of the metallurgical industry in Luxembourg, this publication brings together some sixty biographies, explanatory texts, and a technical lexicon on methods of transformation and the selected objects.
