Gestalterinnen hatten einen entscheidenden Anteil an der Entwicklung der Moderne im Wien der Zwischenkriegszeit. Die Publikation präsentiert neue Forschungen zu Designerinnen, Keramikerinnen, Modeschöpferinnen, Grafikerinnen, Gartenarchitektinnen, Fotografinnen, Kunsthistorikerinnen und Mäzeninnen. An ihrem Beispiel wird gezeigt, wie angestammte Rollenbilder in der Zwischenkriegszeit aufgebrochen wurden und welch eminente Bedeutung diese Frauen für die Wiener Moderne hatten. Sie setzten sich mit bestehenden Vorurteilen auseinander und schufen neue visuelle Sprachen, um erfolgreich Karriere zu machen. Gleichzeitig trugen sie zu einem kritischen Diskurs über die Emanzipation der Frau bei. Zu den Gestalterinnen der Wiener Moderne gehörten u.a. Emilie Flöge, Mathilde Flögl, Jacqueline Groag, Fanny Harlfinger-Zakucka, Yella Hertzka, Else Hofmann, Hilda Jesser, Maria Likarz, Madame d'Ora, Pauline Metternich-Sándor, Bertha Pappenheim, Marie Reidemeister-Neurath, Lisl Weil, Vally Wieselthier, Helene Wolf und Berta Zuckerkandl

Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Die Geschichte des Grafikdesigns ist weitgehend ohne Frauen geschrieben worden. Blickt man jedoch unter die Oberfläche dieser Erzählung, wird der Einfluss sichtbar, den Grafikdesignerinnen auf das Geschehen hatten: Sie bildeten eigene Traditionen, stellten dialogische Bezüge her, wurden Vorbilder, knüpften Netzwerke, erprobten sich in Selbstermächtigung. Gerda Breuer beleuchtet diesen Kampf um Professionalisierung und zeigt, auf welche kollektiven Formate Designerinnen zurückgriffen, um sichtbar zu werden und sich für die Belange von Frauen einzusetzen. Bekannte Grafikdesignerinnen wie Ljubow Popowa, Änne Koken, Ethel Reed oder Sarah Wyman Whitman spielten hierbei ebenso eine Rolle wie völlig unbekannte Kollektive. Breuer zeigt, dass deren bedeutende Beiträge in der Rezeptionsgeschichte verschwunden, abgewertet, ignoriert oder in den Hintergrund gedrängt wurden. Aufgrund der aktuellen Infragestellung des traditionellen Kanons ist die Integration solcher Beiträge in die Designgeschichte längst überfällig. Design von Katja Lis, DBF Designbüro Frankfurt

You've seen their work-but have you seen them? Black designers have been working in every major industry but, for the past decades, have not been given the spotlight anywhere near to the extent of their white counterparts. This vibrant and wide-ranging book, full of photographs and illustrations, aims to correct that oversight, bringing a century of Black designers and their work into focus. Organized into three sections focusing on Fashion, Architecture and Graphic Design, Prempeh uses the pioneering work of key figures from the twentieth and twenty-first century to explore important aspects of how Black design has been perceived within culture and society. From the necessity of the side-hustle, to interrogating the value placed on Black design, from reclaiming traditions, to exploring how design can be a form of protest, this book brings to the fore the stories of figures such as Ann Lowe, Dapper Dan, Norma Sklarek, Francis Kéré, Emory Douglas and Liz Montague to unpick what it means to be a Black designer.

Das international viel beachtete Erstlingswerk von Heike Hanada wird mit dieser Publikation umfassend mittels Zeichnungen und Fotografien dokumentiert. Die Transformationen während des Bauprozesses spiegeln sich dabei in den Momentaufnahmen Andrew Alberts ausgezeichnet wider. Während sich der monumentale Körper als abstrakte, minimalistische Skulptur präzise zwischen Stadt und Landschaft positioniert, eröffnet er innen über Kaskadentreppen und Lufträume unerwartete Blickbeziehungen in die Topographie des Museums. Die sachliche Verwendung aller Baumaterialien vermittelt eine konsequente Anlehnung an weitläufige Industriehallen, die den unterschiedlichsten, musealen Anforderungen bemerkenswert gut gerecht werden und damit gleichzeitig den Werkstattcharakter der Gründung des Bauhauses in Weimar 1919 zitieren.***This publication comprehensively documents Heike Hanada's internationally acclaimed first work by means of drawings and photographs. The transformations during the construction process are excellently reflected in Andrew Albert's photographs. While the monumental cube positions itself precisely between the city and the landscape as an abstract, minimalist sculpture, it opens up unexpected vistas into the museum's topography on the inside via cascading staircases and voids. The relevance of all building materials conveys a consistent reminiscence of spacious industrial halls. They meet the most complex museum requirements remarkably well and thus simultaneously cite the workshop character of the founding of the Bauhaus in Weimar in 1919.

HÅNDVÆRK bookazine no. 7 invites you on a visit to an architect, a design firm, a blacksmith, a brazier, a bricklayer, a carpenter and a thatcher, among others, and shows you how bathroom tiles can be made with a high content of crushed discarded bricks. You can learn about painting with egg-oil tempera and get updated on textiles, glass, ceramic, food and drink.From editors’ letter by Rigetta Klint:‘Perhaps you might like to scale up in a future issue of HÅNDVÆRK?’ asked an architect who attended a talk I gave a few months ago about my work on the HÅNDVÆRK bookazine.She added, ‘As I’m sure you know, climate accounts are going to be mandatory in construction from 2023. Initially, there will be a cap on CO2 emissions per square metre per year for new builds over 1,000 m2, and from 2025, the requirement is going to apply to all new construction.’Indeed, I had heard about it, and yes, I was interested in scaling up and taking a look at architecture and construction; in fact, I had already begun.At this point in the process, it was quite clear to me that there are many interests at play in construction, refurbishment and renovation and that dealing with architecture and construction is about much more than just scaling up. Above all, construction is big business – and a huge factor in relation to the above-mentioned and increasingly ubiquitous climate accounts. Where there is a will there is a way, and not just when it comes to reducing our carbon footprint.In my interviews we take a broad look at materials, aesthetics, working processes, working life experiences, lived life experience and education.

Sonia Delaunay's work appears today as fresh and relevant as ever. The modernist pioneer's ingenious color patterns dissolved the boundaries between visual and applied art. She further developed her painterly experiments in fashion, fabric patterns, interior design, book and object art, merging geometric abstraction and the sculptural qualities of pure color.Maison Sonia Delaunay is dedicated to Sonia Delaunay as a mediator between artistic-philosophical design and the beauty of everyday life. It particularly focuses on new research into textiles, fashion, and interior design. Drawing on never-before-published sources, the publication examines her international collaborations with entrepreneurs and artists, and illuminates how she redefines the relationship between art and industry in the process to design for a visionary, modern life.SONIA DELAUNAY (1885, Odessa-1979, Paris) was trained in St. Petersburg, Karlsruhe, and Paris around 1900, and initially established herself as a portrait painter before dedicating her work to abstraction around 1913. With her husband Robert Delaunay, she experimented with the concept of "Simultané" based on the use of intense color contrasts. During a stay in Portugal and Spain in World War I, she expanded her art to the objects of life. Back in Paris in the 1920s, she combined her ambitions in painting and design with her fashion and furnishing house "Sonia Delaunay." Her influence continues to this day, her patterns being as modern as ever.

How design students learn sustainably How do I teach design? Why is listening so important? What can we learn from other disciplines and cultures and from each other? Answers to these and other questions are offered by Sven Ingmar Thies and his 24 interviewees, who are all united by a single wish: that their students should experiment, experience, and grow as designers. This book allows teachers of graphic design, design theory, game development, industrial design, and behavioral research from China, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Austria, and the USA to each have their say.

Alfredo Häberli, who was born in Buenos Aires in 1964 and has been working from Zurich since the 1980s, is one of the world's most widely acclaimed product designers. Major international brands such as BMW, Camper, Georg Jensen, Iittala, Luceplan, Moroso, Schiffini, or Vitra are among his clients, for whom he has designed furniture, lamps, objects, tableware, or even entire interiors. Häberli's work has been shown in numerous exhibitions throughout Europe and has earned him many awards over the years. In the first of this book's two volumes, Häberli looks back at the people, places, and objects that have influenced him and shaped his ideas and creative process. He tells of his visits with the great Italian designers, the British and American role models influencing him, and about inspiring exchanges with colleagues such as Konstantin Grcic, Jasper Morrison, or Patricia Urquiola. Moreover, his encounters with visionary entrepreneurs, and the places, locations, and objects that forged his understanding of design come into focus through text and images. For the second volume, Häberli invited thirty personalities from his circle to ask him one question each, which he answers frankly and in good humor. These personalities include fellow designers, architects, critics, journalists, and creative directors such as Stephen Bayley, Tyler Brûlé, Francesca Molteni, and Alice Rawsthorn.

Susanne Bartsch has been living in New York since 1981, where she has created a dazzling Gesamtkunstwerk through the creation of her iconic looks and legendary parties. As an impresaria, artist-agent, and big-hearted, open-minded hostess, she moves virtuosically at the intersection of fashion, make-up, activism, art, music, and performance. In a career as interior designer, researcher, author, and teacher that has spanned more than five decades, Verena Huber has engaged profoundly with the issues of living and staying. To this day, she continues encouraging people to question spaces and objects and to put them in new contexts. Uncompromising in her approach and always looking beyond national borders, she has been hugely influential in contemporary Swiss interior design. Since the early 1980s, artist Beat Streuli has used photography and video to create works of strong visual force. Although cityscapes form the backdrop of his images, it is always people rather than architectural or structural elements that are in his focus. Streuli's images have made him one of the world's foremost exponents of street portraiture. Switzerland's Federal Office of Culture has awarded the 2022 Swiss Grand Award for Design to Susanne Bartsch, Verena Huber, and Beat Streuli. This book introduces each of them through a concise text and interview as well as a brief biography, illustrated with images from their archives.

Als Pionier des modernen Designs schuf Willy Guhl weltbekannte Möbel wie den Eternit Strandstuhl oder den ersten Kunststoffschalenstuhl Europas. In der Tradition der Moderne und gegen den «völkischen» Heimatstil entwickelte er nach 1945 einen ganzheitlichen, am Menschen und seinen Bedürfnissen orientierten Gestaltungsansatz; Funktionalität und die Reduktion auf das Wesentliche kennzeichnen seine Gebrauchsgegenstände. In der Zusammenarbeit mit Schweizer Firmen wie Dietiker, Eternit oder Aebi entwarf Willy Guhl Sitzmöbel, Pflanzgefässe und Mähmaschinen.Willy Guhls Entwürfe, seine Lehrmethoden und sein Bildarchiv zeugen von den Innovationen der boomenden Designindustrie der Nachkriegszeit und dem sich wandelnden Berufsbild des Industrial Designers. Als Lehrer und später Leiter der Fachklasse für Innenausbau und Produktgestaltung an der Zürcher Kunstgewerbeschule von 1941 bis 1980 hat Willy Guhl Generationen von Schweizer Designschaffenden geprägt, darunter Robert Haussmann, Kurt Thut oder Andreas Christen.

Als thematisch ausgelegter Werkkatalog bietet sie ein vollständiges Verzeichnis aller Entwürfe und illustriert in Skizzen, Plänen und Fotografien seine forschende Arbeitsweise sowie die Leidenschaft für Material und Technologie, die in der Auswahl exemplarischer Schülerarbeiten ebenso zum Tragen kommt.

Selbstverständlich is the German expression which, in the mind of Albert Kriemler, creative director at AKRIS, best encapsulates the aesthetic ideal that he wishes to accomplish with his fashion designs. For Kriemler, the embodiment of natural modernity is selbstverständlich, evident in the wearer and also the use and functionality of the clothes.Taking the collections as waymarks, the book encompasses the entire one hundred years of AKRIS history and its location in St.Gallen, Switzerland. The unsurpassed quality of the fabrics and craftsmanship employed in the creation of Albert Kriemler's art-inspired designs is dedicated to the woman of today and tomorrow. She comes alive in her clothes, and with her body language and presence imbues them with identity. Jessica Iredale describes the uniqueness and forward-looking nature of AKRIS. Iwan Baan, photographer, illuminates with his photo essays the hometown and the inside world of the brand. The meticulous book design confirms the AKRIS mindset: selbstverständlich,naturally.

What ideas are currently energizing your architectural work and explorations? Why did these ideas become impactful while others did not? What role did mentors and peers play in the development of these ideas? What were your breakthrough insights or aha moments? What is next for you, and for the discipline and discourse of architecture? For this book, Mark Foster Gage has selected eleven of the most noteworthy and fascinating conversations from his year-long project of documenting the ideas of the next generation of designers who are revolutionizing the nature of architectural practice and theory today. This remarkable collection of casual, informative, and personal interviews engages fifteen architects as they reveal what made them who they are, what propels their architectural work forward, and what they anticipate comes next. A noted practitioner, tenured Yale professor, CNN design contributor, and respected insider of the international architectural scene, Mark Foster Gage has spent his professional life with many of the most important figures in architectural discourse and practice. With this book he focuses on an emerging generation of practitioners- approaching his subjects with a characteristic mix of insight, wit, and humor in a book that is consistently entertaining and informative as the architects open up in unexpected ways about their beliefs, work, lives and thoughts about where architecture, and they, are headed next.

" The definitive volume on Gaetano Pesce's incomparable life and career, as told in the artist-designer's own words In a category all his own, Gaetano Pesce is widely considered one of the most important, and elusive, creative figures of the last half century. Bridging numerous key art and design movements, while never belonging to any of them, Pesce's singular practice has remained steadfastly provocative, defying convention, utility, and good taste. Glenn Adamson, the acclaimed curator and writer, conducted the wide-ranging interview with Pesce on which this book is based, drawing out new stories and insights, as well as providing an introduction that thoroughly contextualizes Pesce's unique position in contemporary art and design. As postmodern design has become increasingly desirable, interest in Pesce has grown with renewed exhibition activity and critical attention, and his work has become even more valuable and collectible. In this long overdue summary co-published with Salon 94, Pesce looks back at his incomparable and wildly inventive career, recounting his life and practice in his own words. "

1929 entdeckte der Schweizer Bildhauer, Erfinder und Forscher Paul¿Schatz (1898-1971) die geometrische Form des Oloids.¿Schatz' Lebenswerk war geprägt von diesem fundamental neuen, aus der Bewegung entstandenen Körper, für den er immer neue und wegweisende Anwendungen fand. Diese bildstarke und allgemeinverständliche Monografie zeigt das zeitlos schöne Oloid als Inspirationsquelle und funktionales Element, heute mehr denn je zuvor.Das gilt für die bildenden Künsten und im Design, in Technik und Forschung, in der Architektur, der Philosophie oder der Musik. Enge ästhetische Bezüge zur Bildhauerei von Zeitgenossen Paul Schatz' wie Naum Gabo, Constantin Brancusi oder Henry Moore überraschen ebenso wie die heutige Hommage auf ihn durch Künstler wie Ólafur Elíasson. Das Oloid erweist sich als universeller Körper, der - so schlicht wie komplex, zugleich elegant und kraftvoll - noch nicht alle seine Geheimnisse und Potenziale offenbart hat.Mit Beiträgen von Dirk Böttcher, Andreas Chiquet, Heinrich Frontzek, Felix M. Hediger, Gerhard Heid, Tobias Langscheid, Vera Kopppehel, Walter Kugler, Matthias Mochner, Christoph Müller, Oliver Niewiadomski, Beate Oberdorfer und Tilo Richter sowie historischen Texten von Lucius Burckhardt und Paul Schatz.

Ideas are not born alone. They come from a process to a large extent organized and rational but sometimes unconscious and magical. In this book we can enjoy and learn from the creative processes of great graphic designers and creative voices around the world. Here we can find impulsive design versus more cerebral design; radical and avant-garde design alongside poetic, childish, commercial, intellectual, subversive and socially oriented design. 26 designers from 15 countries show us their workspaces, their personal notebooks and their creative processes. They teach us the keys to understand what is behind those magnificent works that inspire, thrill, impact or invite us to action. In this book the creative process itself is inspiration, a unique guide to creativity with storytelling and lessons on how to live your best creative life.
