Résumé:
True beauty lies in the design and process that leads matter to become a work of art. Before the final gesture that at last makes it a “work”, its beauty is contained in the invisible layers of thought and enthusiasm that lie beneath the surface of the finished object – from choice of materials to precision of execution.

Résumé:
The publication presents the designs of six internationally renowned bicycle builders whose embrace of the tradition of working in metal brings striking innovation to their craft. Through their manipulation of steel, aluminum and titanium, the builders of Bespoke produce racing bicycles that speed champion athletes to victory, mountain and cyclocross bicycles built to negotiate vertiginous terrain, urban bicycles that stylishly convey commuters, and randonneur bicycles elegantly stripped down for epic journeys. Candid portraits including builder’s inspirations, working methods and bicycles, photographed in great detail, highlight this exhibition at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design. Bespoke offers an intimate view of objects that sit squarely at the intersection of art, design, craft and performance.

Résumé:
In this book, Anne Massey provides an anatomy of the chair and looks at how we interact with others in predetermined ways when seated. As she argues, the chair can communicate the authority of the owner, the sitter, and even the creator. Massey explores how, particularly in the last one hundred years, the chair has become a revered object of design. Chairs, such as the Eames Lounge chair, Verner Panton’s S Chair, the Aeron office chair have been photographed, exhibited in art museums, and slavishly copied in knock-off cheaper models. Other chairs have reached iconic status simply through their everydayness : think of Van Gogh’s chair, or the way Shaker chairs have become emblematic of a simpler and purer lifestyle. Massey further examines how chairs have been crafted, constructed from materials in plentiful supply locally, to their global manufacture. In doing so she elucidates the meaning of the chair in contemporary culture, as well as the development of the designer’s and manufacturer’s relationship with this pivotal object.

Résumé:
Traditional Japanese packaging is an art form that applies sophisticated design and natural aesthetics to simple objects. Largely constructed of bamboo, rice straw, hemp twine, paper, and leaves, all of the objects shown here are made from natural materials. Through photographs of authentic examples of traditional Japanese packaging—with commentary on the origins, materials, and use of each piece—the items here offer a look into a lost art, while also reminding us of the connection to nature and the human imprint of handwork that was once so alive and vibrant in our everyday lives. This classic book was originally published under the title How to Wrap Five More Eggs in 1975.
