‎DANISH LIGHTS : 1920 to Now ‎

‎, Strandberg (T&H distr), 2024 Hardcover, 272 pages, ENG. edition, 285 x 190 x 25 mm, NEW, over 300 illustrations in colour / b/w., Small text. ISBN 9788792596635.‎

‎Lamp design is a field that continues to attract great attention, from both designers and design aficionados. With Poul Henningsen's iconic PH-lamp as its point of departure the book tells the stories behind 100 Danish lamp designs through text and images, and introduces the reader to the inventions that enabled the first revolutionizing light sources. Lighting is a key element in 'hygge' - the Danish definition of a warm and cosy ambience. Although hard-core functionalists like Henningsen called for form to follow function, real-life factors required them to compromise, and this came to define Danish lamp design: hygge is a crucial quality that had to be included in the design. Thus, the purpose of the modern Danish lamp was- and is - not only to provide light but also to act as a decorative element and to spread a cosy ambience.‎

‎La matière n'a jamais tant fait bouger la pensée. Plastiques, métaux, céramiques et composites accroissent et diversifient leurs performances, échangent leurs technologies et leurs domaines d'application, se multiplient jusqu'à pouvoir devenir des matériaux sur mesure, créés spécialement pour un projet de designer, d'architecte ou d'ingénieur. Ezio Manzini examine comment ces possibilités nouvelles des matériaux modifient le processus même de conception d'un produit et les qualités techniques, mais aussi culturelles, qu'on peut attendre d'un objet. Une philosophie pratique du design, au sens où celui-ci s'étend du niveau de la matière elle-même jusqu'à la création d'un environnement artificiel. — Ezio Manzini, ingénieur et architecte, est directeur de la recherche à la Domus Academy. Il a mené et dirigé de nombreuses études sur les conséquences de l'évolution technologique dans la conception des projets. Il est professeur de Technologie de l'architecture à la Faculté d'Architecture du Politecnico de Milan. Il enseigne également à l'École nationale de Création Industrielle de Paris. ‎

‎Marc De Blieck. Zien, Horen, Denken,‎

‎BE, MER.paperkunsthalle , 2012 Paperback, 140x235mm, 160 pages, Dutch (NL) edition. ISBN 9789490693770.‎

‎This publication contains reflections on Jacques Ranciere's essay "The Ignorant Master" by the artist Marc De Blieck and the art philosopher Volkmar Muhleis. The artist's practice is assuming an expanding variety of forms, the artist can leap from one method to another, and the media available to him, old and new, appear inexhaustible. Can and should art education prepare the artist for this? One possibility is to bring a never-ending abundance of experts into the art schools. Ranciere offers us a provocative alternative in the form of Jacotot, the ignorant master. In part, the book indirectly endorses present-day art education, but at the same time a number of the controversial arguments it contains challenge one to self-reflection.‎

‎MODERNISM. Essays on Finnish Modernism.‎

‎, Design Museum , 2010 Softcover, 127 pages. 2010. illustrated, IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE. ISBN 9789529878680.‎

‎Proceeding from an international perspective and various starting points, Essays on Finnish Modernism approaches phenomena in Finnish architecture and design that entail the problematic of modernism. The themes of the book are the main elements of modernism, such as the emergence and development of mass production, changes in consumer habits, improvements to the quality of life and emphasis in design on the problems of increased equality. Although modernism was introduced into Finland around the turn of the 1920s and 1930s, modern design did not become part of the lives of ordinary consumers until the 1950s, as the Secon Wold War halted the developments that had begun in the 1930s. Modernism is of topical interest. In 2009, the anniversary of the bauhaus School was celebrated in Germany. Founded by the architect Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919, the Bauhaus has remained, despite its small scope and brief duration, a symbol of modernism and its most prominet torchbearer.‎
