Dutch designers are currently creating quite a stir on the international scene. What is the secret of their success? In How They Work photographer Inga Powilleit and stylist Tatjana Quax examine the working methods of seventeen designers, as well as the typically Dutch approach which has made them world-famous: a fanatical attitude towards work, a healthy lack of respect for convention, and a determination to go their own way. How They Work consists of portraits of the very top of the Dutch design world, which offer readers an honest and revealing look behind the scenes. Hella Jongerius, Job Smeets & Nynke Tynagel, Claudy Jongstra, Dick van Hoff, Wieki Somers, Marcel Wanders, Petra Blaisse, Jurgen Bey & Rianne Makkink, Piet Hein Eek, Richard Hutten, Joep van Lieshout, Gijs Bakker, Evelyne Merkx, Ineke Hans, Bertjan Pot. Dutch Design is de laatste jaren uitgegroeid tot een internationaal succes. Hoe wordt dat succes ve rklaard, welke manier van denken en werken ligt eraan ten grondslag. In How They Work laten fotograaf Inga Powilleitt en stilist Tatjana Quax zien hoe zeventien Nederlandse ontwerpers werken. Uitgangspunt was dat typische Hollandse te laten zien wat deze ontwerpers wereldberoemd heeft gemaakt: keihard werken, een gezond gebrek aan respect voor hoe het hoort en het eigenzinnig bepalen van de eigen weg. How They Work bevat een serie portretten van de top van de Nederlandse designwereld en biedt een ongegeneerde en openhartige blik achter de schermen. Met tekstbijdragen van Dieuwertje van de Moosdijk.
Ook verkrijgbaar in deze serie: Design's Delight. Method and means of a dialogic practice Jan van Toorn is one of the most significant and influential Dutch graphic designers to have emerged since the early 1960s. While graphic design often does little more than give unthinking visual form to the status quo, Van Toorn focused on meaning rather than smooth stylistic expression and developed critical alternatives to the usual design world conventions. Van Toorn aligned himself with the reflexive tradition of art and communication exemplified by Brecht and Godard. Projects such as Van Toorn's posters and catalogues for the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven and his long-running series of calendars for the printing firm Mart.Spruijt are powerful demonstrations of graphic design used as a means of commentary and as a tool of critique. This extensively illustrated monograph charts the development and explores the ideas of a figure whose highly original and often controversial body of work poses a lasting challenge to anyone involved in visual communication.
Pentagram, founded in 1972, is one of the best known and most influential graphic, product, and architectural design firms in the world. Its partners are distinguished members of the international design community, consistently generating award-winning work of the highest quality. Profile is the first Pentagram book to include the design firm?s ?new guard,? partners Fernando Gutiérrez, DJ Stout, Lisa Strausfeld, and Abbott Miller. The book is a unique collection of essays on Pentagram?s nineteen partners by best-selling authors, revered design critics, editors, and other well-known cultural figures. Eloquent and insightful explorations into the personalities, thought processes, careers, and work of the different partners, the essays are generously illustrated with examples of both key projects and lesser-known works. As a whole, Profile not only sheds light on nineteen individual talents, but also provides a comprehensive overview of the legendary firm that has influenced the course of design for over thirty years. Included is a foreword on Pentagram?s history and evolution by Rick Poynor, one of today?s most respected design critics and founder of the incisive British graphic-design magazine Eye. Pentagram began with five partners; today, there are nineteen, working in London, New York, Austin, San Francisco, and Berlin. Following the firm?s unique partnership structure, they each have their own clients, and work in their own way with their own teams. They share equally, and contribute equally. Similarities in style, temperament, and aspiration between them are few. What these designers do have in common, however, is Pentagram itself, and the shared commitment to producing high-quality, relevant work in the fields of graphic, product, and architectural design. As design critic Rick Poynor points out in his introductory essay for Profile, ?No other design company can boast Pentagram?s concentration of fully engaged design horsepower at the highest operational level.? Indeed, with a list of clients that reads like a Who?s Who of both the commercial and cultural world, the firm has over the last several years continued to produce influential, diverse, award-winning work: Justus Oehler?s corporate identity for the Star Alliance, Fernando Gutierrez?s editorial designs for Colors and Matador magazines, Lorenzo Apicella?s mobile tourist pavilion for the Hong Kong Tourist Authority, Abbott Miller?s exhibition design for Harley Davidson, and Lisa Strausfeld?s media wall project for New York?s Penn Station are but a few examples. Since Pentagram?s inception, the firm has taken care to document its work and evolution (Pentagram: The Compendium was published by Phaidon 1993). Profile follows this tradition, showcasing both recent and classic projects, introducing new partners, and analyzing the company?s position in the design world as it embraces the new millennium. But it is more than ?just? the latest Pentagram survey: Rather than painting another group portrait, Profile takes a new approach and focuses on the individual partners who together make up the whole. In nineteen individual and well-illustrated essays by acclaimed writers, critics, and journalists, the different partners are profiled with wit and insight. What emerges is a sharper understanding of the unique talents whose commonalities and idiosyncrasies inflect the character of Pentagram.
