Résumé:
Dans un essai singulier et engagé, en jouant avec les mots et le jargon, l'auteur nous donne à voir ce qui est minutieusement éloigné de la surface de notre économie et de nos activités, ce qui est caché dans le Deep Web. En s'activant sur les réseaux sociaux, en utilisant des services numériques - apparemment gratuits - nous contribuons à la constitution d'une gigantesque masse de données informe et difficilement appréhendable pour les citoyens. Qui peut se saisir de ces données accessibles et pourtant impénétrables dans la pratique ? Comment ces données, cette activité qui semble anarchique donne-t-elle forme à notre environnement ? Comment le travail évolue-t-il dedans ? Nos forces de productions et leurs modalités d'organisation sont elles solubles dans le Web ?

Résumé:
Marvels of human ingenuity, so small they can fit in the palm of your hand, miniature boxwood carvings from the early 16th century have long remained a mystery because of the enormous virtuosity with which they were made. Presenting 60 statuettes, miniature altars, prayer nuts, rosaries, skuls and other memento mori-pendants, 'Small Wonders' focuses for the first time on these Late Gothic, pocket size carvings from the Low Countries. These ingeniously constructed, awe-inspiring detailed cut artworks depicting biblical scenes were made as sophisticated ‘toys’ for private devotion and amusement, as well as collectibles that only the rich could afford.

Résumé:
In 1965, leading Swiss furniture company USM patented its signature modular furniture system, USM Haller. This flexible storage solution for both home and office was inspired by Fritz Haller’s modular architecture and designed for infinite reuse and reconfiguration. Considered a design classic, USM Haller is included in the collections of major museums including MoMA and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Released as part of USM’s fiftieth-anniversary celebration of this iconic furniture design, Rethink the Modular examines the role of unit-based systems in the wider context of architecture and design. It combines previously published writings, specially commissioned essays from thinkers and innovators John Thackara and Rick Poyner, and interviews with leading figures in the design world that explain how the concept of the modular influences their work. Interspersed with visual material, the texts reveal the many possibilities created by balancing structure with flexibility, and seek to redefine the place of modularity in modern design history.

Résumé:
"The pencil perfect" takes its namesake’s four simple ingredients – wood, graphite, clay, and water – and narrates a tale of worldwide influence and innovation. Caroline Weaver, pencil connoisseur and CW Pencil Enterprise Shop owner, composes texts that extol the nuanced influence of her beloved and humble implement. Illustrations exclusively drawn for "The pencil perfect" by Oriana Fenwick, an artist from Zimbabwe who works with fine details and intense realism, pair with Weaver’s words to present a story that is both endearing and enlightening. Through profiles of pencil makers, anecdotes about famous writers’ favorite pencils, and essays about the surprising role of pencils in world history and culture, the chronicle of a modest but mighty tool unfolds. Follow the charming contrivance as it guides the course of early communication in the Scientific Revolution, the American Revolutionary War, the Anglo-French War, and the French Revolution: it is a historical journey and a captivating memoir. See how its past contemporarily compares with its use and appearance today – from the Blackwing 602 to novelty ferrules. The development of cultures and communities is laid bare within the timeline of this slender entity. "The pencil perfect" immortalizes the biography of an inanimate object within its pages for a future cast of historians, writers, and curious minds.

Résumé:
What makes us human? We are all connected, but do we feel lonely? Does democracy still work? Are cities for everyone? Should the planet be a design project? If Mars is the answer, what is the question? Who wants to live forever? The world of tomorrow is shaped by emerging design and the technology of today. Bringing together a range of objects either newly released or in development, "The Future Starts Here" begins to imagine where our society might be headed. Cute but intelligent robots, massive unmanned aircraft that deliver internet access, crowdfunded buildings, tools printed in space, mysterious black boxes that understand human genetic codes--how can these objects affect the way we live, learn, and love? And how are they challenging our understanding of what it means to be an individual, a citizen, a crowd, or a species?

If you’ve decorated on a budget, you’ve probably braved IKEA, where the promise of a brighter and better living space comes sealed in a cardboard box. But what do we lose when big-box retailers rule the home furnishings marketplace—and, by extension, our homes? Wouldn’t it be more satisfying to surround ourselves with handcrafted pieces that perfectly suit our needs? While making your own furniture is not a requirement for a well-planned home, it is certainly possible—no matter one’s budget, skill level, or space—and immensely gratifying.
