Abstract

This book captures the raw moment of inception behind a designer's collection. Assemblage 6 started off with almost 300 maquettes: chairs, lamps, stools, or daybeds made of wire, cardboard, tape, and canvas, or the everyday materials to be found in Faye Toogood's studio. But having lined up these rather crude, almost childlike maquettes, the collection, in essence, was decided. Seventeen were chosen to be scaled up to life-size works, and here we have an immersive journey through all the original maquettes and their occasional passage into the real world of furniture/sculpture, a book that plays with the sense of dissimulation evident in the final artworks, or the fact that some objects are not always what they seem at first glance. The Man Booker-nominated author Sophie Mackintosh opens with this idea in her short story, while the book closes on an essay by the independent writer and curator Glenn Adamson, who ultimately provides context for the collection and process as a whole.

Abstract

"Interior design has shifted significantly in the past fifty years from a focus on home decoration within family and consumer sciences to a focus on the impact of health and safety within the interior environment. This shift has called for a deeper focus in design research. Research Methods for Interior Design provides a broad scope of research methods for interior design students from qualitative to quantitative emphases. Through four distinct sections, the authors not only lay out the theory of interiority-a subjective sense a person feels in his or her relation to a physical environment, which results in positive attachments of communal belonging-but also how designers can access interiority through a variety of research methodologies. Expanding beyond environments defined by physical walls, this book transcends the traditional discipline of interior design by foregrounding interiority as a theoretical conception. With case studies, exercises, study questions and recommended additional research projects and literature, this book hits the mark on the need for resources that inform and enrich the research process with a broader scope for interior design students, educators, and researchers"--

Abstract

This volume summarizes the results of "The Aesthetics of Sustainability", a research project led by ECAL/Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne. It brought together master's students of product design, established materials specialists, manufacturers and researchers with the aim of exploring and defining the aesthetic potential of a new generation of sustainable materials. The result of this research-through-design project is a series of fourteen case studies involving the development of materials made from textile waste, recycled paper, rubber granulate or vegetable fibers such as algae, rice husks, hemp, flax and wood. The resulting new materials can be shaped, pressed, woven or welded. A selection of these materials will be presented through experiments and prototypes of products. The aim is to offer future designers a range of practical tools and applied knowledge about the methods of analyzing and processing seminal materials, utilizing their advantageous qualities and developing functional, yet aesthetically intriguing objects.The materials further aim to provide proof that sustainable materials are a great market opportunity for manufacturers and consumers alike.

Abstract

During the pandemic, 45 people were invited to take part in a 'serious game': each participant selected the image of a personal object of fascination, out of which a shape was extracted, redrawn, scaled and sent to a CNC machine to be cut out of a 5 mm thick aluminium sheet and become a low table. Each table is here presented through the original image that generated it, the selected contour, a text by its author and photographs of the prototype taken by Maxime Delvaux and printed in silver. Objects of Fascination explores digital technology and craftsmanship through found forms. It can be seen as a collection of personal worldviews by an emerging generation of architects, as much as an attempt to give a physical form to the multiplicity of our collective cultural background. Published in collaboration with Architecture Curating Practice.

Abstract

Comment raconter le design aujourd'hui ? En considérant les objets non seulement dans leur matérialité mais aussi la manière dont ils façonnent notre environnement (im)matériel, nos interactions sociales et notre perception visuelle. Comment raconter un design à vivre et à voir ? Comment parler au 21e siècle de l'histoire du design en Belgique ? C'est avec ces interrogations que Belgisch design belge, l'exposition au Design Museum Brussels et ce livre qui l'accompagne, souhaitent initier une forme de réflexion. Après les livres Panorama et Designing the night, ce projet initie un cycle de propositions sous la forme de pop-ups qui se succèderont dans le temps. Les sélections de pièces tantôt subjectives jamais exhaustives se voudront représentatives du design en Belgique depuis les premiers pas de celui-ci jusqu'à ses représentants actuels les plus passionnants. C'est ici l'occasion de redécouvrir certains parmi les designers les plus talentueux comme Maarten Van Severen ou Christophe Gevers et de retracer brièvement leur parcours. Les pièces d'époques, de matériaux, de statuts et de natures différentes se succèdent telles que les accessoires en bois ou en métal conçus dans les années 1950 par Jules Wabbes, Jacques Dupuis et Léon Stynen, ou les premiers gadgets en matière plastique, ustensiles de cuisine développés par les films ACEC ou NOVA ou encore les tabourets de bar en vinyle aux motifs bicolores et ludiques de Willy Van Der Meeren. Ce tour d'horizon confirme par ailleurs, l'importance de la manufacture Boch Keramis ou de la firme Meurop et permet de se pencher, entre autres, sur les carrières de Huib Hoste, Xavier Lust ou Gustave Serrurier-Bovy. Van Art nouveau tot hedendaagse creaties via het naoorlogse functionalisme - deze tentoonstelling verkent onder andere het werk van ontwerpers en de productie van Belgische bedrijven en uitgeverijen zoals Gustave Serrurier-Bovy, Huib Hoste, Jacques Dupuis, Willy Van Der Meeren, Jules Wabbes, Maarten Van Severen, Meurop, Alain Gilles, Christophe Gevers, …

Abstract

"Surveying for the first time the Century Guild of Artists (CGA) and its influential periodical, the Century Guild Hobby Horse, this original publication asserts the significance of the CGA in the development of the Arts and Crafts movement and its modernist successors. Founded by the architect Arthur Heygate Mackmurdo and his 18-year-old assistant Herbert Percy Horne (afterwards joined by the artist and poet Selwyn Image), the three men were driven by the ambition to answer John Ruskin's radical call to regenerate art and society. Motivated by the concept of 'the Unity of Art', the CGA embraced a spectrum of arts which included architecture, painting, sculpture, metalwork, textiles and stained glass. It also reached out to music and literature, aiming to educate its public in practical form. Skilfully weaving chronology with the impressive artistic achievements of the collective, the authors also draw out the lively personalities of each of the protagonists and their wider circle. For anyone fascinated by the Arts and Crafts movement, this is essential reading."--Publisher's description.
