Commons in Design
How social cooperation within communities can better the impact of functional, sustainable design
The scarcity of resources, climate change and the digitalization of everyday life are fuelling the economy of swapping, sharing and lending: all of which are in some way linked to a culture of commoning. In this context, commons can be understood as community-based processes that use, collectively manage and organize generally accessible resources, either goods or knowledge.
Commons in Design explores the meaning and impact of commons?especially knowledge-based peer commons?and acts of commoning in design. It discusses networked, participatory and open procedures based on the commons and commoning, testing models that negotiate the use of commons within design processes. In doing so, it critically engages with questions regarding designers’ positionings, everyday practices, self-understandings, ways of working and approaches to education.
Contributors include: Rachel Armstrong, Max Stearns, Nathalie Attallah, Yuhe Ge, Juan Gomez, Luis Guerra, Katherin Gutiérrez Herrera, Cyrus Khalatbari, Rilla Khaled, Cindy Kohtala, Torange Khonsari, Álvaro Mercado Jara, Nan O’Sullivan, Victoria Paeva, Sharon Prendeville, Zoe Romano, Gregoire Rousseau, Daniela Salgado Cofré, Elpitha Tsoutsounakis, Eva Verhoeven, Jennifer Whitty.

Timeless Treasures
In a 2021 study, McKinsey describes Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) within the watch market as 'the industry's fastest-growing segment'. The trade in pre-owned watches is expected to overtake that in new watches by the middle of the decade. 'Certified Pre-Owned' is thus a booming trend. Pre-owned watches are becoming increasingly popular for various reasons: CPO makes classic watches and exclusive rarities accessible to connoisseurs, but also to new customers. Since the fine pieces are authenticated by experts, the market offers security. Above all, however, the CPO business enables an emotional approach: buyers get watches with a history that they can perpetuate themselves and then pass on to the next generation. Dive into the fascinating world of watches and watch collecting with Timeless Treasures.
Does a good watch really have to be expensive? What factors determine the condition of a watch? What should I look for when buying? Are CPO watches a good investment? These and many other questions are answered here by leading experts in the field.
But you will not only find useful information for building your own high-quality collection. You will feel the passion for elegant timepieces on every page of this book. Discover first-class photographs of classic and current watch models from the major brands, of celebrities professing their passion for this accessory, or of legendary film scenes in which special watch models play supporting and leading roles.
The reading is rounded off with a 'style guide', which offers watch lovers inspiration on how to perfectly stage their favorite pieces in every situation or also answers the question: What type of watch am I?
The result is an emotional all-round portrait of the impressive world of CPO watches, perfectly attuned to an ever larger and more diverse fan community. It's time to let a little luxury into your life with this book!

The World According to Yves Saint Laurent
Legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent’s maxims on haute couture, women, style, and elegance, presented in an attractive gift format. Founded by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1962, shortly after the young couturier left his post at the helm of Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent would soon become one of the most successful and influential haute couture houses in Paris. Introducing Le Smoking, the first tuxedo suit for women, in 1966, Saint Laurent also presented iconic, art-inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection.
The designer put the women who wore his clothes first (“What’s most important in couture is the body we dress, the woman we dress, more so than the ideas we might have”) and was determined to change attitudes of the era (“Fashion’s purpose is not only to make women look beautiful, but also to reassure them and to give them confidence”). He could be critical of the fashion industry (“I adore clothes but I hate fashion”), and he saw himself as a craftsman who perfectly understood his customer (“I think there are three kinds of designers. The great ones, the true ones, and the ones who know how to delight a woman just by making a very simple dress, or a very simple suit”).
Presented in a beautiful package and accessible format, The World According to Yves Saint Laurent is the perfect gift for fashion fans, capturing the essence of a true visionary. 40 color illustrations.

Packaged for Life: Chocolate
Packaged for Life: Chocolate features a delectable collection of creative packaging design work for one of the most popular snacks in the world today that even the ancient Mayans enjoyed!
In our haste to consume the things we love, we often disregard or discard packaging without a second thought. While many would argue that they bear no significance or should be done away with in our quest to save the environment, there is a lot more to packaging design than meets the eye. On top of conveying a brand’s personality, purpose, or message meaningfully and embodying its contents in ways that catch the eye, a seemingly ordinary bottle or box can become an artist or designer’s canvas for extraordinary creative expression.
Along with the fun facts in the accompanying booklet as per previous editions, the projects serve as morsels of inspiration and visual treats as appealing as the sinfully-delightful product itself.

Móda x Umění
Katalog vycházející ke stejnojmenné letní výstavě Musea Kampa. Výstava představuje dámské šaty z převážně šedesátých let, které bez nadsázky započaly módní revoluci. Ikonické kousky od návrhářů jako Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Paco Rabanne, Yves Saint-Laurent a mnoho dalších jsou doplněny a konfrontovány uměleckými díly ze sbírky Musea Kampa. Móda je plná rozporů. Zahaluje i odhaluje. Vyvolává emoce, ale také vytváří bariéry. Patří jí povrch, avšak naznačuje hloubku. Dokáže být rebelská, ovšem přiklání se ke konformitě. Je líbivá, ale rovněž zneklidňující. Neustále se proměňuje, přitom směřuje k nadčasovosti. Vytrhává nás z davu, ale svádí k uniformitě. Překvapuje, jakož i uklidňuje a míří k jasně vymezenému stylu. Bere se až příliš vážně, přesto bývá nečekaně hravá. Je povrchní až prázdná, nicméně zároveň obsahující významy. Umění naproti tomu rozporné být nemá – spojuje se s jednoznačnou hloubkou a nadčasovou hodnotou. Móda je paradoxní fenomén ze své podstaty. Nikdy není pouze funkční a užitková, přesahuje společenskou nutnost, která člověku přikazuje se oblékat. Její povrchnost a triviálnost jsou šalebné – vždy odráží posedlosti i ideály doby, ve které vznikala. Módní artefakty jsou příkladnými objekty touhy. Byly jimi už v době svého vzniku, proto se nám také zachovaly, proto nás fascinují dodnes. Můžeme je obdivovat, ale též analyzovat, ukotvovat v kontextu, zbavovat původního kouzla, nebo trikem naopak umocňovat. Není divu, že se módní artefakty staly muzejními objekty. Můžeme je obdivovat jako stopy zaniklé kultury, ale je možné v nich nacházet něco, co historičnost přesahuje, co k nám hovoří z jiné doby. Móda je tématem nás všech, i když si to třeba nechceme přiznat. Módní exponáty byly zapůjčeny ze sbírky Alexandre Vassiljev Foundation z Kaunasu v Litvě, jedné z nejvýznamnějších soukromých sbírek módy na světě s více než půl milionem šatů, bot a rozmanitých doplňků.
