Résumé:
This colourful book, bound on the right in the Japanese style, comprises a journey of three interconnected layers. The first is words, a poem by Hiroshi Osada, the second is formed through pen drawings by Yoshie Watanabe and the third consists of physical objects, the simple jewellery crafted by Etsuko Sonobe. Together, the three layers translate into a narrative about two girls passing time through various activities, whether it be picking fruit or digging sand. Colour and shape play important roles, as the childlike drawings and jewellery pieces reflect both each other and the poem itself.

Résumé:
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.
