Looking back at the life and work of Marcel Breuer (1902-81) one can only be astonished: at the age of only 25 he designed the club chair that is today known as the „Wassily“, led the carpentry workshop at the Bauhaus and with great passion advanced furniture made from tubular steel. But although his architectural oeuvre in terms of size by far outdoes his furniture designs it is the latter that are still primarily associated with his name. A classic dedicated exclusively to his furniture and interiors is Magdalena Droste’s and Manfred Ludewig’s monograph „Marcel Breuer - Design“, published in several editions by Taschen (the present one is from 1994). In it Droste provides a concisely written overview of Breuer’s genesis as a designer up until his very last furniture designs in the US that unfortunately weren’t able to live up to his successes in Germany and England. She also highlights his role as a pioneer of tubular steel furniture and the adventurous production circumstances that pivotally involved steel companies not quite familiar with furniture making. Unfortunately manifold patent cases ultimately spoiled Breuer for the material. All of the above is supplemented with what the book is about in the first place: countless historic photographs of Breuer’s furniture and interiors of which there are many more than just his primarily known designs: while at the Bauhaus, in Switzerland and England Breuer designed complete interiors, furnished them with one-off designs, created a seating line for Isokon and within less than twenty years established his legend status. Magdalena Droste‘s book still remains the richest publication dedicated to the design works of Marcel Breuer and as such is highly recommended!

How to Wrap Five Eggs: Traditional Japanese Packaging By Hideyuki Oka

“To suit the needs of super mass production, the traditional natural materials are too obstreperous...and one by one we have replaced them with the docile, predicable synthetics...What we have gained from these [new] materials and wonderfully complicated processes to make up for the general pollution, rush, crowding, noise, sickness, and slickness is a subject for other forums. But what we have lost for sure is what this book is all about: a once-common sense of fitness in the relationships between hand, material, use, and shape, and above all, a sense of delight in the look and feel of very ordinary, humble things...a totally unexpected monument to a culture, a way of life, a universal sensibility carried through all objects down to the smallest, most inconsequential, and ephemeral things.” - George Nelson

The first of what we hope will be many flash illustration books is ready to go! Just click the link and you're all set! At $29.99 it will pay itself off with less than one piece, so surely, with many subjects and styles this is an investment no-brainer. We are limiting this first edition to 1000 copies only, then it will be retired. Let us know if you have any questions, otherwise .... never stop creating!

yugo.logo

After the break-up of Yugoslavia most of the archives and industrial heritage was lost, left in despair, destroyed or forgotten… yugo.logo aims to collect and save as many symbols and other design work “made in Yugoslavia”.

The Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, Germany’s trailblazing postwar design school, and the name of Otl Aicher are inseparably connected: together with his wife Inge Aicher-Scholl and Max Bill he founded the school and had a decisive influence on it, both as teacher and rector. Aicher was a stubborn and belligerent character, a trait that eventually sealed the fate of the school: dissatisfied with the direction of the school and the growing scientification of the curriculum Aicher aired his grievances on different occasions. Especially before and after his election as rector in 1962 Aicher in two programmatic texts laid out his criticism, two texts that are also included in René Spitz’s new book „Hans G. Conrad - Otl Aicher in Ulm“, recently published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König. As the author explains, these texts follow up on a development of polarization within the faculty and between practicalists like Aicher and scientists/theorists like mathematician Horst Rittel. This conflict surely also relates to Aicher’s understanding of the HfG as „his“ school and the strong position he held within it and whose ouster of the scientist eventually initiated the school’s closing. This former aspect of his work comes to life in Hans G. Conrad’s photographs taken between 1953 and 1957: as „student no. 1“ Conrad documented the early years of the HfG and the central role Aicher played in it, both inside and outside the classroom: Aicher with friends and colleagues, Aicher with dignitaries like Theodor Heuss or Aicher as gesticulating teacher, all of the photos demonstrate the taking nature of Otl Aicher and convey a sense of why he was such a charming primus inter pares. At the same time Conrad also documented his own projects in the Aicher seminars, beautiful works in their own right that complete the picture of Otl Aicher’s activities.

The second volume of Hans G. Conrad’s photographs of prominent protagonists at the HfG in Ulm is a historic treasure that not only shows Otl Aicher in action but also documents the school’s formative years in impressive pictures. A beautiful book and an fascinating addition to the history of a legendary school!
