Résumé:
Speculative Everything offers a tour through an emerging cultural landscape of design ideas, ideals, and approaches. Dunne and Raby cite examples from their own design and teaching and from other projects from fine art, design, architecture, cinema, and photography. They also draw on futurology, political theory, the philosophy of technology, and literary fiction. They show us, for example, ideas for a solar kitchen restaurant; a flypaper robotic clock; a menstruation machine; a cloud-seeding truck; a phantom-limb sensation recorder; and devices for food foraging that use the tools of synthetic biology.

Résumé:
Finnish architect Pekka Harni runs a design and architecture practice in Helsinki together with industrial designer Yuka Takahashi. Their collaboration results in a variety of work, of which this book on the classification of objects is just one part. Based on a morphological-functional consideration of the properties of household objects, the study proposes to organise the forms of artefacts, determine the significance of their parts and explain the relationships between objects and the environment, thus describing their most important basic properties while exploring the realm of functional form.

Résumé:
A new series from designer Sophie Krier looking at processes emerging on the frontiers of design. Every 'field essay' is a renewed attempt to formulate a visual grammar for design research. In this issue, the work of American furniture designer Jonathan Muecke is juxtaposed with the architectural photography of Dutchman Bas Princen. The Cranbrook educated Muecke creates boldly imaginative artifacts such as his series of carbon fiber chairs that probe the realms of our perception and make us more aware of its mechanisms. Princen, on the other hand, frames built and un-built landscapes where typologies blur between office park and science fiction monolith, for example to dramatic effect. Both create visual propositions that make room

Résumé:
Fontaine Wallace, colonne Morris, station Vélib', lampadaires et autres bancs, le mobilier urbain qui nous est si familier et dont la visibilité diffuse ne fait presque jamais question, a pourtant une histoire, celle des villes, une physionomie, celle du regard et une philosophie, celle de la perception. Agnès Levitte les convoque dans une nouvelle approche. Sa sensibilité de piétonne heureuse se promenant dans les rues le dispute à une théoricienne à la curiosité érudite sachant classer les concepts qui permettent de définir ce qui, au départ, relève de la flânerie. Ainsi ce livre donne à voir le quotidien urbain dans toutes les dimensions du savoir, du sensible et du plaisir.

Résumé:
In A Flower with Love, Bruno Munari lets us in on the secret: "...what really matters is the love with which a little daisy, a lavender sprig or some moss are chosen, that one there in particular and not that other one." With full-color images, we learn that flower arranging is not an obscure art but a natural gesture requiring more care and imagination than money.(...)

Résumé:
Wim Wauman, known for his still life photographs, invited fellow artists and cultural practitioners to contribute meaningful objects to his “Paraphernalia” project, resulting in a collection of 171 objects with which he created and photographed 21 compositions in his studio. These odd still lifes resonate with historical visual traditions and alchemy, asking observers to make individual interpretations and connections. In this publication, each object is connected to its respective donor and therefore his or her artistic strategy. It includes commentary from the artists about their contributions, a critical essay by Stefaan Vervoort about the project, and a personal manifesto by Wauman.
