Signs Fiction - Seeking a New Language

Other Editions 2021 ISBN 9789526878423 Acqn 32374
Pb 15x21cm 48pp col ills £13.50

SerraGlia is the alias of Italian architect and visual artist/designer Lorenzo Servi. Long fascinated
by cities and semiotics, he decided to create an artistic and slightly ironic visual statement about
a mysterious script developed by construction workers over the years. Made with adhesive tape,
these signs are readable by only a select group. Is this some sort of secret language? Or is there
in fact no meaning at all? SerraGlia does not seek to reveal the absolute truth of these found
signs and strangely runic symbols. Instead, he wants to question our perception of our
surroundings. Are things always as they seem?

Jean Paul Gaultier - JPG From A to Z

nai010 publishers 2022 ISBN 9789462087170 Acqn 32218
Pb 23x30cm 160pp col ills £29.95

Featuring unpublished and iconic images by some of the greatest modern fashion photographers
and artists, this timely tribute offers a dazzling review of more than five decades of the "enfant
terrible" of French fashion. In his avant-garde style imbued with humanism and humour, Jean
Paul Gaultier challenged, reinterpreted, and transgressed not only the codes of haute couture
and ready-to-wear but also those of our society, creating an inclusive fashion accompanied by a
social message formed by pluralistic beauties. Whether it is cinema or nature, punks or
Parisiennes, animals or men wearing skirts, the sources of Gaultier's inspiration seem endless
and inexhaustible.

Fast Fluid Fragmented - Art And Design In The Digital Age

ArtEZ Press 2021 ISBN 9789491444623 Acqn 32390
Pb 17x24cm 272pp col ills £42.25

What does it mean to be a designer in the digital age? Images are no longer fixed, well-defined
artefacts. Instead, they are increasingly automatically generated, interactive, and fluid entities that
are less directly the product of human handwork and more the result of complex machines,
algorithms, and software. Marijke Goeting examines the nature and cultural effects of media and
technologies that are crucial for the design of visual communication today. She analyses how we
have reflected on, experimented with, and imagined various approaches to these technologies
and suggests ways to engage critically, thoughtfully, and alternatively with the digital tools at
hand.

Honeycombs and Pyramids - works by Rasmus Fenhann 1999-2022

Galerie Maria Wettergren 2022 ISBN 9782953808179 Acqn 32399
Pb 20x26cm 184pp col ills £32

Creating pieces with an equal focus on sculptural and functional qualities, Rasmus Fenhann
works almost exclusively with wood, which he carefully selects for each project. His process
combines traditional and sometimes near-forgotten craft techniques with advanced technology
and tooling - including CAD sketching, visualization and processing. Fenhann's main source of
inspiration is traditional Japanese woodwork and Danish cabinetmaking, with his works often
incorporating personal interpretations of select aspects of these craft traditions. His work is also
stimulated by nature and the mathematical properties of natural forms - universal forms
unaffected by human control. Today he is considered one of the most important Scandinavian
designers within the field of hand-crafted collectible design.

Christien Meindertsma - Checked Baggage (Limited Edition)

Thomas Eyck 2022 ISBN 9784990717377 Acqn 32400
Pb 14x20cm 335pp col ills £83.25

'Checked Baggage' is the first of two graduation projects by Christien Meindertsma for Design
Academy Eindhoven. The book is an exhaustive catalogue of all the items confiscated from
travellers in a one-week period at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. Everything from cutlery,
boxcutters, and pocket knives, to hairdressers' scissors, wrenches, and nail clippers were among
the items seized and later photographed in taxonomic arrangements for the book. Meindertsma
captures the strangeness of this situation - the confiscation of sometimes very personal items at a
time of heightened security. Each limited edition copy comes packaged with an actual item
confiscated at the airport.

Catherine Geel's tribute to American functionalist designer George Nelson (1908-1986).
