Handwerk
Rollo Press 2025 ISBN 9783906213552 Acqn 36961
Pb 20x29cm 28pp col ills £19.25
Berthold Wolpe's (1905-1989) first typeface, originally cut in Germany in 1932, underwent
numerous name changes, from Wolpe Rursiv to Hyperion. While other designs by the
typographer, such as Albertus, found success early, Hyperion's path remained obscure. A 1952
specimen seemed to be its debut, until earlier traces from 1936 emerged, including blackletter
capitals and a different name - Matthias Claudius - a discovery that led to a revision and digital
revival, honouring Wolpe's original vision.

The Last Pot
Corraini Edizioni 2025 ISBN 9791254931592 Acqn 36932
Pb 16x24cm 224pp col ills £35.50
"The Last Pot" is the second chapter of Il Tornitore Matto, born from an idea of the designer trio
EOOS, and brings together the projects of ten designers - Michael Anastassiades, David
Chipperfield, Michele De Lucchi, EOOS, Naoto Fukasawa, Giulio Iacchetti, Audrey Large, Daniel
Libeskind, Philippe Starck, Mario Tsai - who have grappled with the theme of the cinerary urn. A
collection of objects almost in motion, that lose the fixity of the eternal to find their place in our
daily domestic life: objects to embrace, stack, read, water, incense... that thus find their natural
place in life. Conceived by Alberto Alessi with Giulio Iacchetti, Il Tornitore Matto was born as a
place for experimental research in the field of Applied Arts. A project desired by Alberto Alessi to
investigate new territories where designer and entrepreneur are free to independently establish
the rules of the creative process.

Geological Map of the Pyrenees
Reliefs Editions 2025 ISBN 9782380361285 Acqn 37013
Pb 17x33cm 1p ills £19.25
Part of this draped map, drawn by the General Staff Corps and published by the War Depot (then
the army database), has its origins in the 25th Bulletin of the French Geological Survey
Department, founded by Napoleon III in 1868, which merged with the French Bureau of
Geological and Mining Research (BRGM) a century later. The aim was to ensure 1/80,000_
coverage of the French territorial soil and subsoil. From 1887, the engineers responsible for
drawing these maps, initially trained at the Ecole Polytechnique, were assigned to the new Army
Geographic Service. The reimagined version is part of the Reliefs collection published by the
Bibliotheque nationale de France.
