Marcel Wanders has become a major player in the international design world. Dutch director of the eponymous design studio, art director and co-founder of furniture label Moooi, Wanders does not merely make marvelous objects; he invents worlds in which the mass-produced is handmade, floors and walls grow into forests, and a couch can make a change of costume as quickly as a supermodel.
"Behind the Ceiling' explores Wanders theatrical approach to design, which is both decorative and minimal. In his own voice, Wanders guides the reader through pages of ceramics and glass work, jewelry and lighting, wallpapers and textiles, new species of office, restaurant, hospitallity and retail space. He showcases collaborations with design movers like Bisazza and Puma, his humorously poetic art direction for Moooi, and his Personal Editions collection, which features products intended to furnish a more democratic design world in which man has taken back the machine and art has co-opted industry.

The first edition sold out within a few months, making a demand for a second editon of the first overview of Blaisse's broad spectrum of work, presented in the same stunning book design by Irma Boom.
Internationally recognized as one of today's most important and pioneering landscape and interior designers, the Dutch designer Petra Blaisse continues to define new and increasingly ambitious roles for landscape and interior design. In contrast to architecture's static and immutable severity she devises flexible and flowing solutions that interconnect interior and exterior. Her designs are often poetic and colourful, but they consistently provide astute and elegant solutions to complex technical problems.
Blaisse contributes to important projects in Europe, Asia and the USA both as an independent designer and in association with urban planners and architects such as Tim Ronalds, SANAA/Kazuyo Sejima, Macken & Macken, OMA/Rem Koolhaas and Michael Maltzan.
This volume provides extensive documentation of key projects, features the designer herself in conversation with the editor Kayoko Ota, and includes essays by a range of experts, making it an indispensable source of inspiration for architects, engineers and designers, as well as providing a new impulse for the whole field of architecture.

Met beeld en tekst brengt het boek thema's in kaart en visies op de huidige en mogelijke toekomstige ontwikkelingen van de vrije vormgeving in Nederland. Het boek is zowel een waardevol document voor het vakgebied als een interessante kennismaking voor een breed publiek.
Met ruim negentig full colour pagina's wordt een brede selectie getoond van werk van vrije vormgevers, van de 'Chew your own brooch' van Ted Noten en het verhalende 'Vaetwerk' van Maaike Roozenburg tot de in Indonesië bewerkte sprookjestalfel 'Godoga' van Niels van Eijk & Miriam van der Lubbe. Het thematische geordende beeld wordt afgewisseld met zes essays, waarin kwesties aan bod komen als de economische positie van vrije vormgevers en hun positie tussen beeldende kunst en industrieel ontwerp, het belang van sensitiviteit voor materiaal en ambacht, en de positie van vrije vormgeving gezien vanuit het buitenland.
'Conceptual crafts' is an increasingly used term that stands fro conceptual design, usually not created on commission, in the fields of jewellery, fashion, textiles, interiors and other products. This publication, sponsored & published by the BNO, with more than ninety pages in full colour, shows a broad selection of conceptual crafts created by independent artists and designers working in the Netherlands. The thematically arranged images are interspersed with six essays on subjects including the economic position of makers of conceptual crafts and their position between fine art and industrial design, the importance of sensitivity to material and workmanship, and the place of conceptual crafts from an international perspective.
