Beirut - The Eras of Design

KAPH 2022 ISBN 9786148035432 Acqn 32649
Hb 25x34cm 304pp col ills £45
The first retrospective on design in Lebanon, from the 1920s until today, includes works by over
50 designers, uncovering this major design scene in the Middle-East.
A city at the crossroads of East and West, said to have been destroyed and rebuilt seven times
since antiquity, Beirut continues to nourish the imagination of many creative artists. It was with all
its paradoxes, that a design scene rapidly developed from 2000 onwards, swiftly garnering
acclaim from critics, design fairs and the entire industry. The vibrance of design from Lebanon
stands out as an exception in the region and needs to be understood via the country's long-
standing cultural relations with Europe, especially France, but also with the Emirates and their
ancient craft traditions, which play a part in the originality of products by Lebanese designers.
Beirut is building its own design culture, transforming its multiculturalism into creative energy.
This publication analyzes Lebanon's unique situation-a convergence of economic and
architectural reconstruction, social awareness and international development. It also testifies to
the designers' determination to take ownership of their destiny and image by presenting objects
and forms that are simultaneously aware of their diverse heritage and are deeply rooted in a
complex reality. Prior to the development of this exhibition and publication project, no extensive
research has been undertaken on the history of design in Lebanon. This book aims to fill that gap,
presenting the state of design based on extensive documentation. It is the first retrospective on
design in Lebanon, from the 1920s until today, includes works by over 50 designers, uncovering
this major design scene in the Middle-East.

Intertwingled - The role of the rug in the arts, crafts and design
Corraini Edizioni 2022 ISBN 9791254930199 Acqn 32861
The word intertwingled was coined in 1960 by the American sociologist and philosopher Ted
Nelson to define the complexity of the interconnections in the field of knowledge, made up of
myriad cross-relationships. Embracing this vision, Intertwingled. The Role of the Rug in Arts,
Crafts and Design - published to mark the exhibition of the same name at the Galleria Nazionale
d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome - offers a fascinating, open, and disruptive
interpretation of the interconnected world in which we live. Intertwingled started as an original
project to explore, through the artworks and the objects in the context of the exhibition and the
museum, rugs and tapestries in different fields: art, craft, design.

Living Wunderkammer
Christoph Merian Verlag 2022 ISBN 9783856169855 Acqn 32873
Hb 25x33cm 240pp col ills £68.75
A former cinema dating from the art deco period located in a residential and commercial building
in Basel is transformed into a living space, the interior of which is decorated with a collection of
historical furnishings and art objects. The fusion of contemporary and historical creates a
fascinating synthesis of the arts. While this unique space was being created, a repurposed old
forge in nearby Ziefen was used as a countryside retreat. 'Living Wunderkammer' presents a
detailed look at these two residences. Considered modern cabinets of curiosities, both are
marked by the personality of their passionate owner-collector, whose surroundings are a
continuous journey through time.

Harvard Design Magazine 2022 ISBN 9781934510858 Acqn 32896
In a world impacted by extreme and rapid global expansion, the 50th issue of 'Harvard Design'
asks what it means to be global today. While globalisation brought glamour and economic growth
for some, it came at the cost of immobility, inequity, and displacement for others. Reflecting on
how world histories and challenges have inspired new forms of cooperation, the 25 contributions
provide a contemporary understanding of how design is advancing the definition of globalisation
beyond the mere movement of capital. Guest edited by Sarah M. Whiting and Rahul Mehrotra,
with contributions by Lesley Lokko, Shiqia Li, Sandi Hilal, and many more.
