Abstract

This fully illustrated catalogue was published on the occasion of the artist’s solo exhibition at the Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, England, in 2010 (which traveled to the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich, in 2011). The exhibition features Judd’s furniture and related drawings, including chairs, beds, shelves, desks, and tables made from solid wood, metal, and ply. Amongst the works on view are a number of prototypes, including early examples the artist constructed himself, such as Bookshelves (1968) and Children’s Desk (1977), which are rarely shown outside of Judd’s adopted home of Marfa, Texas. This bilingual catalogue (English and German) also includes texts by the artist and design critic Alex Coles.

Abstract

In the more than 40 years that he spent working at Braun, Dieter Rams established himself as one of the most influential designers of the twentieth century. His elegantly clear visual language not only defined product design for decades, but also our fundamental understanding of what design is and what it can and should do. Dieter Rams created ten rules of design more than twenty years ago. Sometimes referred to as the ten commandments, they are just as relevant today: Good design is innovative. Good design makes a product useful. Good design is aesthetic. Good design helps a product to be understood. Good design is unobtrusive. Good design is honest. Good design is durable. Good design is consistent to the last detail. Good design is environmentally friendly. Good design is as little design as possible. Less and More elucidates the design philosophy of Dieter Rams. The book contains images of hundreds of Rams's products as well as his sketches and models from Braun stereo systems and electric shavers to the chairs and shelving systems that he created for Vitsoe and his own company sdr+. In addition to the rich visual presentation of his designs, the book contains new texts by international design experts that explain how the work was created, describe its timeless quality, and put it into current context. In this way, the work of Dieter Rams is given a contemporary reevaluation that is especially useful in light of the rediscovery of functionalism and rationalism in today s design. Less and More shows us the possibilities that design opens for both the manufacturer and the consumer as a means of making our lives better through attractive, functional solutions that also save resources.

Abstract

In dit mooie overzichtsboek worden de 50 beste Belgische designobjecten sinds 1900 gepresenteer. Het boek bevat iconische ontwerpen zoals de Cubex-keuken van Louis Herman De Koninck (1930) en de .03 stoel van Maarten Van Severen (1998), of werk van bijvoorbeeld Jules Wabbes of Henry van de Velde. Er is ook veel ruimte voorzien voor recent Belgisch design zoals de Overdose Desk van Bram Boo (2007) of de Torch verlichting van Sylvain Willenz (2008). De selectie werd gemaakt op basis van de top-10 lijstjes van meer dan 50 Belgische designers en designkenners, verzamelaars, journalisten en liefhebbers. Die persoonlijke lijstjes met favorieten, die dikwijls ook verrassingen en onbekende pareltjes bevatten, zijn volledig opgenomen achteraan in het boek.
