Es gibt eine Kunst, die man kaum wahrnimmt, obwohl sie uns auf Schritt und Tritt begegnet, an Litfasssäulen etwa, an Omnibus-Haltestellen oder in jeder Lifestyle-Zeitschrift. Grafikdesign heißt diese Kunst im Dienst der Marken, und so langsam setzt sich das Bewusstsein durch, dass es sich dabei tatsächlich um mehr handelt als ein schönes Handwerk.
Der voluminöse Band Graphic Design of the 21st Century verspricht dem Leser im Untertitel 100 der besten Grafikdesigner und Designgruppen, die den Weg des 21. Jahrhunderts vorzeichnen könnten, in einer Zeit also, in der Pixel und Software eine kaum zu überschätzende Revolution in der Branche ausgelöst haben. Und -- was soll man sagen: Er hält Wort. Versammelt sind so herausragende Gebrauchskünstler wie KesselsKramer (und deren innovativer Diesel-Kampagne), Tina Frank, Lust, Dextro, KM 7 oder Fellow Designers, die es mit Klassikern wie Ottl Aicher oder der Bauhaus-Schule durchaus aufnehmen können. Eine kluge Einleitung der Herausgeber rundet das Bild trefflich ab.
Alles in allem also ist Graphic Design for the 21st Century ein farbenfroher Band geworden, der tatsächlich in die richtige Richtung weist. Nicht nur für angehende Grafikdesigner (oder solche, die Ideen brauchen), sondern für jeden, der mit offenen Augen durch unsere Alltagswelt geht. --Stefan Kellerer [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Modern Furniture Classics Since 1945'
Containing some of the most spectacular color photographs of furniture ever published, this stunning book presents a complete visual history of furniture design since the end of the Second World War.It begins in 1945 with such achievements as the highly sculptural plywood chairs of Charles and Ray Eames, who were among the first to use organic shapes derived from the natural world. Revolutionary 1950s designs, including Harry Bertoia's wire Diamond chairs-"studies in space, form and metal"-and Eero Saarinen's futuristic Pedestal Group, were followed in the late 1950s by the rise of consumerism-and the eccentricities of kitsch-which in turn gave way in the 1960s to the explosion of Pop. The following decades were equally rich, with the development of Counter Design by Ettore Sottsass, the factory lights and scaffolding supports of High-Tech, the Craft Revival, Art Furniture, Ergonomic styling, and much else, with each trend continuing to show intriguing national and regional differences. Concluding with the best of current design, this fascinating survey has been since its first publication the standard work on the furniture of the entire period. Every piece included is able to stand for all time as a classic work of design. Illustrated with over 140 color reproductions, all accompanied by detailed descriptions, the whole is completed by a comprehensive reference section, providing detailed designer biographies, a bibliography, a list of retail outlets and museums, and advice on collecting. 347 illustrations, 144 in full color [via]
