Between Dictate & Design

Their Cow Chair consists of a complete, uncut hide of a cow; that is all that is needed to create a sturdy piece of furniture. A tea service is stained with golden tea splashes straight from the manufacturer. Iconic works like these have been catching the attention of museums, companies and the design press for the last ten years or so. Niels van Eijk & Miriam van der Lubbe's areas of interest sometimes seem perfectly at home in the agenda that has made Dutch Design so well known. But they are just as likely to tunnel their way out of that particular pigeonhole. With their fascination for the technical execution of experimental products, their liking for a measured touch of banality and the flexibility of their working methods, they prove adept not only in craft or industrial products but also in exhibition layouts and interiors. "Subjects" is a monograph that illustrates and discusses the huge scope of their work and places it in a wider context. Exhibition: Audax Textielmuseum, Tilburg, 27 June - 11 October 2009.

The Utrecht furniture manufacturer Pastoe has been a leader in unique, timeless furniture of great craftsmanship and quality for 100 years. The roll-front Amsterdammer cabinet, for example, has been a design classic for years and is featured along with the work of Pastoe designer Cees Braakman in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Pastoe's centenary is the occasion for this richly illustrated book, produced in collaboration with designers, architects, artists and photographers in the Netherlands and abroad. Author and design critic Gert Staal relates the most significant moments in Pastoe's history. Pastoe's current focus is also discussed extensively. Along with fascinating archival pictures and documentation of every significant Pastoe design, considerable attention is devoted to today's home environment and the current design domain.

The Netherlands at the forefront of design! Everybody is a designer! But why? Why do we colour, organize, and form the world around us - and why do we call that a profession? In this book, Thonik, an Amsterdam-based studio led by lauded designers Nikki Gonnissen and Thomas Widdershoven, researches eleven personal reasons why they design - from the need to create impact to a constant search for independence; from the benefits of systems to the urgency of play. Why We Design looks back on twenty-five years of design practice and speculates on the future of graphic design. SELLING POINTS: * Thonik's collection of works from the past 25 years * The Amsterdam-based studio discusses their past, present, and future need to design.
