Fredun Shapur - Playing With Design Editions Piqpoq 2013 ISBN 9782919459056 Acqn 23098 Pb 21x25cm 112pp 172ills 161col 35 Like Bruno Munari or Charles Eames, the designer Fredun Shapur (born 1929) made a particular daring and inventive contribution to the world of children. Between the 1960s and 1980s he designed toys for manufacturers such as Naef in Switzerland, Galt Toys in Great Britain, and above all Creative Playthings in the United States. From wooden puzzles to animal disguises made from paper sacks, Shapur's toys still have the power to challenge and enchant, while his use of colour and graphic refinement remain strikingly modern.

And/Or.

His socially engaged practice is founded on a notion of communication based on democratic reciprocity and solidarity with the public. In contrast to prevailing forms of visual communication, Van Toorn's visual journalism establishes meaning in dialogue with the viewer and reader. In this book, design publicist Els Kuijpers gives insight into Van Toorn's methodology.

This book documents the photographic work of Martin Parr, Gunnar Smoliansky, Annika von Hausswolf, Vee Speers, Mary Ellen Mark, Lynn Goldsmith, Dawid, Brendan Austin, Bruno Ehrs, Mats Bcker, Heln Pe, Andreas Ackerup, Elisabeth Toll, Julia Peirone and Gerry Johansson as each presents his or her unique take on the chairs of Alexander Lervik, with a text written by design author and editor Hanna Nova Beatrice.
