Science Of The Secondary 9 – Plate

Atelier Hoko 2018 ISBN 9789811163791 Acqn 28798
Pb 17x25cm 56pp 62col ills £19.50

'Science of the Secondary: Plate' is the ninth edition in the series of ongoing research conceived
and developed by Atelier HOKO. "In spite of the plate's supposed ubiquity, very little is known
and discussed of this practical tableware beyond fine craftsmanship or pretty decorations. While
the use of plates has long since settled comfortably in our everyday, our daily interactions with
the plate are often 'from a distance' since we almost never have to touch it throughout an entire
meal; not especially during one dominated by presumptuous conversations around magnificent
tableware that exists only to impress... "

Everyday Flower Arrangements In Kyoto Vol. 2

Seigensha Art Publishing 2018 ISBN 9784861526640 Acqn 28855
Pb 15x21cm 168pp £29.95

An integral part of everyday life in Kyoto, ikebana flower arrangements can be found gracing
spaces from restaurants and inns to temples and art galleries. Although these unassuming
presentations are often not made by specialists, they speak to the origins of ikebana as sacred
offerings while also reflecting the attitude of respect toward the sacred and others that has been
nurtured for hundreds of years in this ancient capital. This book presents the traditional spirit of
Kyoto as it lives on through the seasons in flowers and vessels selected for each unique context,
including some decidedly contemporary settings. With a foreword by textile dye historian Sachio
Yoshioka.

Pb 19x26xm 280pp col ills £32.50

Published on the occasion of an exhibition in Japan, this volume offers an overview of how, for

industrial design as means of national expression intensified in its post-independence climate,
giving rise to a national collective pride. Today, Finland's culture, innovation, and values are
recognised the world over. From problem-solving to an appreciation for nature, the book
examines the key characteristics of Finnish culture through its history of art, architecture,
illustration, design, and more.

Book Of Denim Volume Two

Amsterdam Publishing Int. 2018 ISBN 9789090309231 Acqn 29127
Hb 21x27cm 304pp 200col ills £43.50

Denim is considered by many to be a mythical fabric, one of the few types of cloth that becomes
only more beautiful with age, and with a symbolism that appeals to people across every class and
culture. Denim is also big business, backed by clever marketing through narratives about history,
craftsmanship, sex, and desirability. This book searches for the real soul of denim, tracing its
makers and adherents in Morocco, China, Japan, Italy, Greece, New York, and elsewhere
through first-hand accounts and personal histories, from Colombian dye-master Juan Manuel
Gomez and British menswear designer Nicholas Daley, to vintage enthusiast Hitoshi Tsujimoto
and Dutch denim.

Graduation 2018 Design Academy Eindhoven

Design Academy Eindhoven 2018 ISBN 9789491400407 Acqn 29228
Pb 21x28cm 400pp col ills £43.95

Published with the 2018 graduation show of the Design Academy Eindhoven, this volume offers a
platform for addressing aspects of design practice that underpin or transcend the object, and the
connecting themes. "There is something paradoxical about the contemporary design school,"
write Joseph Grima and Jurrienne Ossewold in the introduction. Successfully arguing that
everything is design, and that design is relevant to everything, risks becoming the institution's
undoing. It mirrors the demand for an increasingly specialised set of individuals who must
respond to increasingly complex problems. With new insight, young designers can shape the
future of design education.

Japanese Tip - Soul Of Japan On The Table

Little More 2018 ISBN 9784898154809 Acqn 29244
Pb 15x21cm 114pp col ills £18.95

Yuki Tatsumi became fascinated with the phenomenon of the "Japanese tip" while studying at
university and working part-time at a restaurant. A chopstick wrapper left behind on a table had
been transformed into a work of art by a customer. From that moment he decided to search out
and collect these playfully folded wrappers, eventually collecting more than 13,000 items. From
Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, he drove up and down Japan gathering the paper
treasures, which can be found in a dizzying array of designs and shapes. From elegant origami
creatures and human-like twists, to miniature neckties and simple motifs, each one is a unique
creation.
